OPINION – I am honored to announce that I’m running for a second term as mayor of Paradise Valley.

It probably feels like election season recently ended—and you’re right! Because the Mayor’s term is just two years, I’m putting my name forward again so I can continue serving our incredible town.

Serving as your Mayor this past year has been a privilege and an honor—not only as a leader, but as someone who grew up here and is raising my family in the same community. I’m truly inspired by our engaged residents, dedicated Council Members, and the exceptional quality of life that makes Paradise Valley so remarkable.

Over the past 11 months, I’m proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish as a Town Council. A big win was securing the future of our post office — a service that was very important to our residents. We’ve also strengthened public safety by working closely with our outstanding Police Department and continue to fight for local control over short-term rentals.

Our town council has built a true sense of resident-focused teamwork . We are seven dedicated volunteers, who share a common goal: to preserve and enhance the exceptional quality of life that makes Paradise Valley so special.

Thank you again for the privilege of serving as your mayor. I humbly ask for your support and your vote so I can continue the work we’ve started — together.
