Our children deserve the best education possible, and that starts right here in Guntersville. For years, our schools ranked among the top in Alabama, and we should be back at that level. Jeff will work with the school board to strengthen classrooms, support teachers, and ensure students have the tools they need to succeed.

• Partner with the school board to restore Guntersville’s schools to a top-tier ranking.

• Invest in classrooms and teachers, not bureaucracy.

• Make education a central driver of community growth and opportunity.

Every tax dollar should be spent wisely. Jeff believes in living within our means and putting money where it matters most — not on wasteful projects or unnecessary expenses. By focusing on smart budgeting, Guntersville can get the most out of its resources and avoid burdening taxpayers.

• Eliminate wasteful spending.

• Prioritize core services like public safety, infrastructure, and schools.

• Keep a balanced budget that works for the people.

Growth is important, but it should be done intelligently. Jeff supports bringing new jobs and opportunities to Guntersville while protecting the character and beauty of our town. Economic development should benefit everyone, not just a few.

• Encourage small business growth and support local entrepreneurs.

• Attract new companies that align with Guntersville’s values.

• Balance growth with preservation of our community’s small-town feel.

Public safety is a basic responsibility of city government. Jeff knows that our police officers and firefighters put their lives on the line every day, and they deserve the tools and support to do their jobs well.

• Ensure competitive pay and benefits for first responders.

• Provide up-to-date training and equipment.

• Build stronger community partnerships between public safety and citizens.

From potholes to drainage, from sidewalks to speed bumps — these are the issues residents bring up most often when Jeff goes door-to-door. While they may not be flashy, they impact daily life. Jeff will make these common-sense improvements a priority.

• Repair and maintain roads and sidewalks.

• Improve drainage and prevent water run-off problems.

• Address traffic safety with smarter planning and solutions.

Good leadership means knowing when to pass the torch. If the President is limited to two terms, the Mayor and Council should be as well. Jeff supports term limits to ensure fresh perspectives and to keep leaders accountable to the people — not entrenched in power.

• Advocate for term limits in city leadership.

• Foster a culture of accountability at City Hall.

• Keep public service about service — not a career path.

Jeff has knocked on thousands of doors, listening to people’s concerns face-to-face. That’s the kind of leadership he’ll bring as Mayor. He believes City Hall belongs to everyone, and that every citizen should feel welcome to bring their concerns directly to their mayor.

• Keep the Mayor’s office doors open to citizens.

• Hold regular listening sessions with the public.

• Build a culture of transparency and accessibility.

Jeff has never accepted campaign contributions, and he never will. That means he works for you — not for donors, lobbyists, or special interests.

• Maintain a campaign free from financial influence.

• Keep accountability to the people, not to donors.

• Show leadership by example in refusing outside money.
