Infrastructure Done Right

Gibson County lost $1.5 million in road funding because someone forgot to sign a form. Spencer County is maintaining a highway the state dumped on them. Crawford County's terrain makes every mile more expensive than the state formula accounts for.

Broadband is improving. Crawford County had essentially no residential fiber in 2019 and a county-wide buildout is now underway. But gaps persist, and the expiration of the federal Affordable Connectivity Program means low-income households now pay full price.

I'll fight for infrastructure funding that reaches rural communities, accountability for grant applications, and broadband completion — not just press releases about deployment.

Decisions about what gets built here belong to the people who live here, not just the monied interests and the folks with the right connections. Before any big project is approved, the community gets the facts, gets a hearing, and gets listened to. And when a megaproject’s construction traffic tears up county roads, the project pays for what it burdens, through impact fees and host agreements that fund the specific roads, water lines, and emergency response it triggers.
