I’m honored to announce my candidacy for Anderson City Council — Seat 5. As a Combat Army Veteran, I bring proven leadership, disciplined service, and a deep commitment to supporting our youth, enhancing public safety, and investing in resilient infrastructure that strengthens neighborhoods and the local economy.
I will prioritize veteran services, responsible budgeting, and transparent, inclusive decision‑making so every Anderson resident has a voice. With your support, we can build on Dr. Thompson’s legacy and deliver practical solutions that honor our past while moving Anderson toward a stronger future. Please join our campaign today with a contribution or by volunteering — together we’ll get it done.
