Get StartedOur region is home to many veterans and service members, and while active-duty personnel may not rely on VA facilities, veterans often face long travel times for essential care. I will support efforts to expand satellite clinics and local access points so veterans can receive the medical services they have earned without unnecessary hardship. Learn more
We must address monopolistic practices among seed and fertilizer companies and discourage price gouging. Farmers deserve a reasonable profit to offset years of unpredictable yields and crop failures. This is not only a local concern, but a nationwide issue. I will work to protect farmland, ensure foreign entities comply with land ownership laws, and collaborate with farmers to address high costs and pursue fair, sustainable solutions. Learn more

I will advocate for programs that expand access to trade education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship opportunities, particularly for students who may not thrive in traditional academic settings.

Thoughtful planning around lot sizes, multi-family housing, and utility capacity is essential. Potential solutions include higher-density subdivisions, smaller homes on modest lots, and innovative sanitation options where appropriate. Expanding county water access, especially in outer areas, should be a top priority, as the cost of drilling wells often makes new construction prohibitively expensive. Learn more
Tax incentives should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and structured with accountability measures, including reimbursement provisions if a company relocates after incentives expire. Radcliff’s experience demonstrates the risks of overreliance on a single economic driver such as Fort Knox; when military operations shifted, the community suffered lasting economic consequences.
