My Commitment to You
Community Focus
It would be a true honor to continue serving as your city councilmember.
As an at-large body, we don't represent just one district — we serve every corner of this community. If given the chance to continue, I promise to show up with the same transparency, grit, and passion I've always brought.

We're on our way with our permanent treatment facility, but we're not done. Ensuring Woodbury taxpayers don't end up with the operational burden for the long-term operation and maintenance of the system will take steadfast focus and making sure resources are made available to protect. I will ensure Woodbury stays a leader both locally and nationally in this pursuit, and that Woodbury taxpayers are represented with priority.

Local government is one of the few places left where it's not about politics, it's about people. Remaining focused on our roles, our responsibilities, and our mission, free of politics, partisan pushing, and headlines. I strongly oppose efforts to politicize local government.

Transparent & Responsive Budgeting
We all call Woodbury home for our family or our business.

We all call Woodbury home for our family or our business. Ensuring we keep focus and work towards maintaining and improving our quality-of-life weather through transportation access, parks & recreation programs & opportunities, or working on affordability, my focus will be on decisions that improve our quality of life. That means saying Yes, and importantly, saying No. My litmus test is simple: "Is it worth the time, money, and effort, and does it work towards improving our quality of life?"

Have you ever met someone who says they loves budgets? Well, I do. It's the single most important thing a city council does. Every priority, every program, everything we do starts with the budget. It's complex, and it's important. I have a track record of pushing back and asking hard questions on spending, and I promise to maintain my history of reviewing every line item & every department as my responsibility to the public. By listening to the community, inferring your priorities, and making educated decisions, I'll work towards a budget we can all be proud of.

As we work on the 2050 comprehensive plan, our community is not only growing but aging in our housing stock and infrastructure. We must balance those things to ensure we don't overburden our current residents and businesses with the costs of maintaining the infrastructure.

As we work on the 2050 comprehensive plan, our community is not only growing but aging in our housing stock and infrastructure. We must balance those things to ensure we don't overburden our current residents and businesses with the costs of maintaining the infrastructure.
That also means we must have a clear understanding of our statutory requirements and rights as a city, and for our property owners. It's nuanced, but that doesn't mean it’s impossible. We will continue to chart a path forward for Woodbury that maintains the delicate balance of development and preservation.

Now more than ever, the state and federal governments are pushing to centralize decisions and power.

Now more than ever, the state and federal governments are pushing to centralize decisions and power.
As the closest level of government to its constituents, the City Council is the most accessible level of government, and the one we interact with most daily.
That means, ensuring that decisions such as infrastructure, planning, zoning, & property taxes, just to name a few, are made by the people closest to the issue and to the responsibility for delivering those services.
We have and will continue to work hard to ensure citizens are allowed to make their voices heard, and decisions are able to be made at the most local levels.
