What do you believe are the three critical projects or initiatives that will move your city/district forward?

Our City is facing a crossroads. Growth in the City Limits has started to stall since 2010 and growth is shifting across the Blue River into Pottawatomi County. I believe that we need to make Manhattan more attractive by lowering taxes, particularly property taxes and cutting out expensive projects like Indoor Water, Sunrise Cemetery development and Riverfront MHK.

We also should embrace the growth already happening and look at annexation of undeveloped properties in Pottawatomi. Most of our Future Growth is probably east of current city limits.

Spending priorities should focus more on roads and less on parks. The Parks and Rec sales tax should be allowed to expire and Administrative Salaries are also a concern for me.

What skills, expertise, experience, or competencies qualify you for this position?

I have always had interest in government and went to Kansas State to study Political Science. I added a Geography Major and have always been interested in the big picture.

I have had a variety of different jobs which helps me to relate to all kinds of different people and different topics: Pothole Patching, Inventory Management at Ascension Via Christi, Manufacturing at Farrar, Series 7/ Series 66 Financial Advisor and currently Assisting Clients with Disabilities at Big Lakes Development.

What makes this office an important part of the local government?

This position provides valuable leadership to the City Government. It helps set priorities and how fast we try to go. Fire, Transportation, Water, Police, Parks and Public Transport are all greatly impacted by the Commission's decisions.
