Smart Growth - Accountability - Transparency

As an Air Force Academy graduate, retired Air Force Colonel, and current Clayton Council member, I bring proven leadership to guide Clayton forward. I’ve seen firsthand the challenges in public safety, services, growth, and finances.

As Mayor I’ll bring my experience as an analyst, enabling leaders to make better decisions, to provide trusted leadership to make Clayton a place families and businesses want to stay and grow. Vote Farmer November 4.
