I'M CHRIS, AND I'M

FIGHTING FOR JACKSON

I'm a father, a tradesman, and a small business owner, not a politician. Like many of you, I've had enough. I work with my hands during the day and run a martial arts school at night. I'm raising my family here and dealing with the same broken systems and bad decisions that have hurt the town we love. I've been a fighter my whole life, in the ring and in the streets, and now I'm fighting for something bigger: Jackson's future. I don't answer to donors, I don't owe political favors, and I'm not here to climb a ladder. I'm here to serve, to speak the truth, and to fix what's broken.

Together, we can build a Jackson worth fighting for.

OUR CAMPAIGN

Jackson is at a crossroads and the people in charge are failing us. Out-of-town investors are buying up our neighborhoods, illegal rentals are hurting our streets, and our schools are closing while insiders look the other way. I'm running to put residents first, protect homeownership, restore transparency, and make sure Jackson works for families, not developers or political insiders. It's time for leadership with backbone and a better future for our town.
