This information is provided by the candidate

I feel fortunate to have grown up and live in a community as wonderful as Clayton, a town where we treasure our families, schools, parks, and neighbors. As I return my roots to start my own family, I have a strong desire to give back to a community that has provided so much to me over the years.

I am running for City Council because citizens should give back to their community and I believe I will make a positive impact. As a civic leader in Clayton, I have worked alongside like-minded residents to accomplish much: fundraising money to support the community, understanding and promoting our past, and building a vibrant city that honors Clayton's history, while also meeting the needs of current and future citizens.

I have a deep and proven track record, delivering results through roles such as Clayton Planning Commissioner, President of the Clayton Historical Society, Membership Chair of the Clayton Valley Garden Club, Leader in the Clayton Business & Community Association, and lastly Co-Founder of the P2C Foundation, creating the Passport to Clayton program that supports local businesses while offering everyday benefits to families. Outside of Clayton, I am a strong performer at the Microsoft Corporation.

We have mature leadership throughout Clayton and I wish to continue this positive trend. I will bring a fresh, yet grounded perspective to the Council and relentless commitment to the City. It would be my pleasure to serve you as a City Councilman.

Together we can make a difference in the community, so please join me and Vote Ted on November 2nd.
