My administration has worked hard every day for the past seven and a half years focusing on fiscal responsibility, transparency, infrastructure improvements, supporting local businesses, protecting our neighborhoods, community policing, affordable housing and planning for Oxford’s future.
There is so much work to be done. We have laid the groundwork and need to keep going. We will not hide from our challenges and will address them head on with an open door, open mind and open heart. Today I am asking for your support – and your vote - as I seek a third term as Mayor of Oxford. Let’s move forward together.
Meet Your Mayor
It has been my privilege to serve Oxford as the Alderman of Ward 2 from 2013-2017 and the past eight years as Mayor. I have been honored to be recognized for my efforts in our community and state. I have the experience and proven track record to lead and guide Oxford through this time of incredible growth with many challenges.
