What I Stand For:

1. Stop the Dramatic Property Tax Increases
The current Auditor raised property valuations by a blistering 35%–60%, driving up everyone’s real estate taxes. Your taxes are scheduled to rise again with the 2027 triennial revision. I promise: I will not raise your valuations. Instead, I will table the 2027 revision until Ohio legislators pass a workable, long-term plan. It’s time to end extravagant real estate taxes that feel like a forced second mortgage on your home.

2. Proven Fiscal Leadership You Can Trust
As Delaware County Treasurer, my private-sector business experience delivered results: I grew investment income from $8 million to $66 million in just four years—a record that still stands. I also collected $50 million in delinquent taxes and slashed the county’s delinquency rate to under 1%—the lowest of any county in Ohio. That same disciplined, business-first approach is exactly what we need in the Auditor’s office.

3. I Don’t Need This Job—I Want to Give Back
With respect, I successfully built and operated a private-sector business that could have allowed me to retire comfortably. I’m running because I want to serve Delaware County and put my real-world expertise to work for you, not for government insiders.

4. A No-Nonsense Approach Puts Taxpayers First
My private-sector mindset doesn’t always win me friends among other elected officials—but that’s fine with me. I’m here to serve you, the taxpayers of Delaware County, not the bureaucracy.

5. Experience Matters—Let’s Make Delaware County Affordable Again
Property taxes have skyrocketed under the status quo. With my proven track record and outsider perspective, I will protect your home values and keep taxes in check.
