The support coming in from across Columbia, from Councilwoman Tina Herbert, Rep. Seth Rose, Councilman Paul Livingston, and so many others, means a great deal. These are leaders who share our commitment to safer neighborhoods, stronger housing opportunities, and a city that works for everyone. I’m grateful they stand with us as we work toward building a better Columbia.
Our campaign is deeply honored to share the growing list of leaders, neighbors, and community advocates supporting our movement. Their faith in the coalition we have built from every corner of this city reflects something bigger than politics; it reflects a shared belief in the Columbia we are building together.

I’m running for City Council At-Large to make our neighborhoods safer, expand affordable housing, strengthen small businesses, and ensure every resident has a voice. This is the work I’ve spent my life doing, and it’s the work I’ll continue on day one.
Election Day is TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH. Let’s finish strong and shape the future of our city, TOGETHER!
