PEOPLE JUST WANT THINGS TO WORK IN TOWN.

A Smarter Approach to Growth
Culpeper deserves thoughtful, common-sense growth that protects our quality of life and prevents overcrowding. That’s why I support a moratorium on rezoning for data centers and large-scale housing developments until our infrastructure and schools can catch up. We must take a pause to plan wisely not just build endlessly. At the same time, we can create more flexible zoning to allow for tiny homes and accessory dwelling units, giving families and seniors more affordable, community rooted options without overwhelming our public services.

Creating Good-Paying Jobs for Our People
We need leadership that brings opportunity home. As Mayor, I’ll travel alongside our economic development team to actively recruit businesses that offer good-paying, sustainable jobs for Culpeper residents. We should expand shared workspaces to support government contractors and remote professionals, and create a mixed-use zoning overlay to open doors for more local entrepreneurs and small businesses. Imagine the energy and possibility of a medical school or college satellite campus right in downtown Culpeper a bold step forward for our workforce and our future.

Investing in Our Kids and Their Future
Strong communities start with strong support for our children. I believe Culpeper should be a place where every child can learn, play, and thrive. That means supporting our schools and expanding opportunities for families beginning with a permanent Children’s Museum in our downtown, giving all kids a chance to explore, imagine, and grow. We also need a public pool that is year around and accessible to the schools and the kids who need it most, creating a safe, healthy space for and life lessons. When we invest in children, we invest in everyone.
