I have always believed that a person is defined by their reputation and the integrity with which they live their lives. In public service, that integrity should be non-negotiable. True integrity means doing exactly what you say you are going to do, and understanding the framework required to get it done.

We are now exactly two months away from the August primary. In Platte County, the race for County Clerk is a three-candidate contest: the incumbent, a first-time challenger, and myself. Over the course of this summer, voters are going to see a stark contrast in how each candidate approaches the problems facing our county seat.

Politics is too often filled with empty rhetoric—candidates harping on problems or making sweeping promises that the law doesn't even allow them to deliver. Having run for office previously in 2014, I learned a vital lesson: honesty is the only path forward. It is easy to complain; it is much harder to offer an actual engineered solution.

Take the issue of county spending and compensation. In November 2025, six of our ten elected officials, including the incumbent Clerk, voted to give themselves significant salary increases.

While the other challenger in this race rightly complains about these excessive raises, complaining isn’t a strategy. To date, they have offered no structural plan of action to bring salaries into equitable ranges, nor any mechanism to prevent elected officials from voting on their own pay scales in the future.

Identifying a leak in the pipe is only the first step. You have to know how to fix the plumbing.

My commitment to you has always been grounded in the reality of Missouri law. I will work within the constructs of the Missouri statutes to act as a defensive wall against rising property taxes and to be a disciplined steward of your tax dollars. That means maintaining a lean, necessary staff, seeking maximum value in county contracts, and ending reckless spending.

There is significant work to be done to bring modern, working technology and true operational efficiency to the Clerk’s office and county government as a whole. The goal is simple: reduce administrative timelines, cut operational costs, and look for every opportunity to provide taxpayers with relief.

Changing an entrenched system takes hard work, perseverance, and the willingness to stand firm when resistance is fierce. I cannot promise that the road will be easy, or that every bureaucratic obstacle will vanish overnight. But I can promise you this: I will always tell you the truth, I will run an office of total transparency, and I will never insult your intelligence with empty promises.

If you agree that it is time to change the culture in our courthouse and elect a non-politician who will bring real business sense to county government, I invite you to join our team. Please consider placing a sign in your yard, sharing our message with your neighbors, or donating campaign funds so we can continue to spread this vision throughout every corner of Platte County.  Leave a comment below and I will get back to you.

Have a wonderful and productive week ahead!
