Quiet Professionals

In my military experience, I admired the “Quiet Professionals”—those who take on tough tasks, deliver results, and seek no recognition. In politics, that path is harder to walk. The loudest voices and most extreme positions often get the spotlight, but I still believe quiet professionalism serves our community best. Results speak louder than rhetoric.

When I entered public service, I declined the usual advice about chasing publicity. My focus has always been on serving my neighbors, not building a political résumé. I value those who don’t just talk about problems—they roll up their sleeves and solve them.

That’s why I’ve appreciated working with Councilwoman Karen Heater over the past four years. She’s not one for fanfare, but she’s been instrumental in delivering real solutions—like our new Fire & EMS model and the Fiber to Home initiative. She’s consistently shown up, put in the work, and made a difference.

You’ll find quiet professionals by looking at their actions, not just their words. That’s also why I support Will McGinley for Hudson City Council. He’s been a steady, humble servant to our community for years between his tree day service and the direct support he shows his neighbors in need. No matter the task, I've watched Will always be there.

I look forward to continuing this work with Karen and Will—solving problems, delivering results, and putting Hudson first. Quiet professionals may not dominate headlines, but they’re the backbone of our community. They lead with service, not self-promotion—and that’s a win for all of us.
