Why Jeff Is Running For Commissioner
Kenton County’s Fiscal Court plays a key role in how our roads, public safety, and local services are funded and delivered. District 2 should be represented by someone that isn't a politician, but rather a voice. A voice for those that don't feel heard. Jeff is running because county decisions should be made by someone who shops where you shop, drives the same roads, and cares about the same schools and churches you do.
-
He wants responsible, transparent budgeting that respects every tax dollar.
- He wants responsible growth that respects ALL of Kenton County and its green space. Together we make up ONE Kenton County.
-
He wants safe, family-friendly communities across District 2, from Independence to the surrounding rural areas.
-
He wants county government to listen first, act second, and always put neighbors before party.
