In the summer of 2024, I went through one of the most difficult and life-changing moments of my life. It was a time when I was trying to find my footing again and work through a situation that completely blindsided me. During that period, Steven stepped up in a way that I will never forget.

He was the friend and brother I needed when I needed one the most.

Steven didn’t have to go out of his way to help me, but that’s exactly the kind of person he is. He showed up with support, encouragement, and genuine concern for my well-being. When things felt uncertain, he helped me stay focused, move forward, and start putting the pieces of my life back together.

That kind of character can’t be taught—it’s who he is at his core. Steven cares about people, and he believes in helping others when they need it most.

That’s why I’m proud to stand behind him and support his campaign for Lake County Council. The compassion, integrity, and leadership he showed during one of the toughest moments of my life are the same qualities he will bring to serving our community.

I’ll always be grateful for the role he played in helping me move forward, and I truly believe he’s the kind of leader our community needs
