Building the Future, Honoring Our Roots
Welcome to my vision for The Town of Matthews where progress meets purpose. As our community grows, we face exciting opportunities—and real choices—about what kind of place we want to be. I believe we can have the best of both worlds: a thriving local economy and a community that still feels like home.
I will work to:
Protect our historic charm and cultural heritage
Invest in parks, community spaces, and events that bring people together
Support schools, public safety, and services that keep us connected and safe
Fueling a Dynamic Business Community
We’re a magnet for entrepreneurs and homegrown success stories. With the right support, Matthews can become a hub for small businesses and innovation while staying true to our roots.
My plan includes:
Cutting red tape for local businesses and streamlining permits
Attracting clean industries that bring good jobs
Promoting partnerships between schools, trade programs, and local employers
Smart, Managed Growth
Growth is inevitable, but how we grow is up to us. I’m committed to responsible development that enhances our neighborhoods without overwhelming them. That means:
Prioritizing infrastructure improvements alongside new development
Supporting local planning that preserves green space and character
Ensuring housing remains accessible for families, seniors, and young professionals
Preserving Our Small-Town Heart
In Matthews , we know our neighbors. We wave at each other on Main Street. This isn’t just geography—it’s identity.
A Community We’re Proud to Call Home
I love this town. It’s where we stop to chat at the farmers market, where kids ride their bikes down tree-lined streets, and where neighbors show up when it counts. As we grow, I believe we can protect what makes this place special while embracing new opportunities that make it even better.
Thoughtful Growth, Not Just More Growth
We all see the changes coming. New faces, new buildings, new possibilities. But we deserve growth that reflects our values—not just fast development. That means investing in roads and infrastructure before the traffic hits. It means shaping neighborhoods that feel like they belong, not like they were dropped from a blueprint a hundred miles away.
Keeping That Small-Town Heartbeat
No matter how much we grow, we should never lose the feeling that this is still home. That’s why I want to keep investing in our parks, our schools, our community traditions. Let’s preserve our history—not pave over it—and keep that friendly wave on Main Street alive and well.
