For Mayor of Lawrenceburg
Lawrenceburg is my hometown. It's where I grew up, raised my family, and built businesses.
I'm running for mayor because I care about the decisions we make today and the city we leave for the next generation. I want to listen, plan carefully, and move Lawrenceburg forward with the City Council.

For the future
Meet Darryl
I'm a lifelong Lawrenceburg resident and local business owner. This community has shaped my life, and I want to help shape a strong future for it.
My experience includes building businesses, raising a family here, serving on the City Council, and participating in local boards and committees. Those experiences have given me a practical appreciation for planning, listening, and making careful decisions.
I believe our city works best when residents understand what is happening, have an opportunity to be heard, and know their concerns matter.
Tell Me What Matters
Why I'm running
Our city's choices affect daily life: how we grow, how we spend, and how well essential services work.
I want those decisions to reflect the needs of Lawrenceburg and the people who call it home.
I will bring a practical business perspective, a willingness to listen, and a commitment to working with the City Council.
My priorities
Residents should be able to understand the decisions being considered and how those decisions will affect the community. I want clear communication, an open decision-making process, and meaningful opportunities for public input — including a clearer process when the city considers selling property.
Growth should be guided by a plan that reflects Lawrenceburg's needs and respects the character of our community. I want us to think ahead about development, city services, and the places where people live, work, and gather.
We should take care of essential needs first while planning responsibly for improvements we want in the future. That means looking carefully at priorities, costs, and the resources available.
The services residents rely on should remain a central focus of city government. I want to work with the City Council and city staff to understand what is working, where improvements are needed, and how to make the best use of available resources.
A personal note
Lawrenceburg is where I grew up, raised my family, and built businesses.
In a community like ours, there is a good chance our paths have already crossed. If we haven't met, I hope you'll introduce yourself.
This campaign is about listening to the people who live and work here, and planning carefully for what comes next.
