PEOPLE JUST WANT THINGS TO WORK IN TOWN.

A Smarter Approach to Growth
Culpeper deserves thoughtful, common-sense growth that protects our quality of life and prevents overcrowding. That’s why I support a moratorium on rezoning for data centers and large-scale housing developments until our infrastructure and schools can catch up. We must take a pause to plan wisely not just build endlessly. At the same time, we can create more flexible zoning to allow for tiny homes and accessory dwelling units, giving families and seniors more affordable, community rooted options without overwhelming our public services.

Housing Costs

 In Culpeper, housing prices have gone through the roof, and I believe a big part of the problem is the large, corporate housing developments—especially projects like Ryan Homes. These big subdivisions don’t make homes more affordable; they drive prices higher and push young couples, working families, and single parents out of reach of owning a home. That’s why I’ve called for a moratorium on rezoning for massive housing projects. We can’t let sprawl and unchecked development reshape our town while families who’ve built their lives here are priced out.

Instead, I believe Culpeper should take a smarter, community-centered approach to growth. We have local small and medium-sized builders who can help meet the need for housing without overwhelming our schools, roads, and infrastructure. I also support creative solutions like tiny homes, accessory dwelling units, and mixed-use zoning to give families more affordable options. My goal is to preserve Culpeper’s character and affordability while making sure the people who live and work here can continue to call this town home.

More things for kids to do in Culpeper.
Strong communities start with strong support for our children. I believe Culpeper should be a place where every child can learn, play, and thrive. That means supporting our schools and expanding opportunities for families beginning with a permanent Children’s Museum in our downtown, giving all kids a chance to explore, imagine, and grow. We also need a public pool that is year around and accessible to the schools and the kids who need it most, creating a safe, healthy space for and life lessons. When we invest in children, we invest in everyone.
