Your Voice in Local Government
Many of you have already sought me out
to share your experiences with me.
I’d like to see you acknowledged and respected
while rebuilding your trust in city leaders.”
It's with great excitement I share with you that I'm running for Jenks City Council Ward 6. The last two years as a civic leader have shown me the importance of bringing a strong citizen perspective to a citywide discussion. I'm grateful for your trust, support and encouragement.

RECOGNIZE JENKS IN THE FUTURE
What does it mean to recognize Jenks in the future? Jenks population growth has doubled in the last twenty years, proving residents enjoy the features and benefits Jenks has to offer. If you factor in Lt. Governor Pinnell’s statement at the opening of the mall, “ Jenks is on track to be the next tourism hub” then the community is in for big changes. Let’s make sure an authentic Jenks thrives during its growth spurt.
