Priorities

Build a stronger community where everyone thrives

Building a Community-First Economy

A Community-First Economy is about crafting policies that support everyone—whether you’re a single individual, a single parent, or a family.

Kacey is committed to strengthening our community’s overall well-being. This means investing in local infrastructure and small businesses to create quality jobs and spur economic growth, expanding workforce development programs to equip workers with essential skills, increasing access to childcare, and promoting affordable housing initiatives. Additionally, she will focus on raising the minimum wage, providing tax credits, and ensuring access to quality healthcare.

Ensuring Safer Communities

As a mother and community leader, Kacey understands the importance of safety for our loved ones. She believes every resident in Chesapeake and Suffolk has the right to feel secure.

Kacey is committed to ensuring that our public safety officers and first responders receive the training and resources they need to protect our communities. With family members serving as police officers and firefighters, Kacey has seen firsthand the challenges faced by those who keep us safe. She also advocates for common-sense gun safety laws to curb the epidemic of gun violence.

“Raising my family in Deep Creek has shown me the true value of a safe, supportive community.”

Investing in Education for Every Child

A strong future starts with strong public schools. As a mom, Kacey knows firsthand the importance of fully funding education, supporting teachers, and ensuring that every student — regardless of their zip code — has access to a world-class education.

By investing in our schools, Kacey wants to provide our children with the opportunities they need to succeed and build a brighter future for our community.
