As of January 28, 2026 I’m officially the first candidate to qualify on the ballot for Putnam County Commission District 1!
Thank you to all the community members in District 1 who took time to speak with me and sign my petition to qualify. It’s truly an honor to have this opportunity. February was an exciting month for the start of my campaign and campaigns across our county.
On February 8th we held a petition signing event to introduce voters to their future representatives and get candidates qualified with their 25 signatures.


On February 10th the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce held their annual meeting. Special congratulations to Plenty Downtown Bookshop for winning Small Business of the Year and Mustard Seed Ranch for winning Non-Profit of the Year. It’s hard to think of two organizations more deserving of these awards.


WCTE hosted their first Let’s Dance Competition on February 12 where we had the opportunity to cheer on our friends and family from across the county.




For Valentine’s Day on February 14th we handmade over 100 valentine’s for the residents of Signature HealthCARE of Putnam County and delivered them to staff and patients.


On February 22 we held our first candidate media day with professional photography and videography to share the word about all the outstanding candidates running across Putnam County for county offices and city races.
