Priorities for Lancaster
Six common-sense commitments — the everyday things that make a city feel like it’s working for the people who live in it.
Supporting Local Small Businesses
Cut red tape, simplify permitting, and help the family-owned shops and restaurants that give our Main Street its character to grow and hire.
Safe, Walkable Streets
Invest in well-lit sidewalks, safe crosswalks, and steady road repair so every resident can get around comfortably, on foot or by car.
Transparent, Responsible Budgeting
Publish a plain-language city budget, post spending online, and make sure every tax dollar is accounted for and spent wisely.
Reliable Basic Services
Dependable trash and recycling collection, clean water, and snow removal you can count on — the everyday services residents deserve.
Open & Accessible Government
Hold regular neighborhood office hours, answer constituent questions promptly, and make City Hall easy to reach for every resident.
Why I’m running
“City Hall works best when it shows up, listens, and follows through. I’m not running to make noise — I’m running to fix the things every family in Lancaster deals with every single day.”

In their words
Endorsed by Neighbors Across Lancaster
Sam actually shows up. When our block asked for a safer crosswalk near the school, Sam listened, took notes, and followed through. That’s the kind of neighbor we want at City Hall.
As a small business owner, I want someone who understands what it takes to keep the lights on downtown. Sam gets it and treats every question with respect.
Thoughtful, steady, and honest. Sam does the homework and gives you a straight answer, even when it isn’t the easy one. Lancaster would be well served.
Our youth league needed better-kept fields, and Sam helped us cut through the bureaucracy to get them fixed. Practical results, no drama.
