  • Modern patrol units and fire equipment

  • Budget planning for safety infrastructure

  • Support for frontline staffing and training

investing in cullman’s future: education

Supporting cullman’s students — without raising taxes.

As a former educator, I’m especially proud of our city’s 10-year, $600,000/year commitment to capital improvements in Cullman City Schools. We’ve done it responsibly—without asking taxpayers for more.

Highlights:

  • Multi-year school funding without tax increases

  • Facilities upgrades and strategic education planning

  • Collaboration with school leadership for long-term impact

Spaces where every family can feel welcome.

I’ve championed the revitalization of Cullman’s neighborhood parks, making them inclusive and accessible for all ages and abilities. Community spaces should be for everyone.

Projects include:

  • Park renovations with inclusive playgrounds

  • Investment in the Civic Center/OmniPlex

  • Acquisition of a new community arts facility

Highlights:

  • $1B+ in local economic investment

  • Cullman ranked #1 in Alabama for expanding industries

  • Transparent financial planning through the General Government Committee
