Biographical Information
What motivates you to run for a position on the Common Council?
I served on the La Crosse City Council beginning in 2015 for 6 years, the final 4 of those years as the council president. I believed then as I do now that we are elected specifically to do the business of the city as effectively and efficiently as we can. Issues considered by the council come with an immense amount of background information, all part of the decision making process. City staff does a great job providing this together with their thoughts and recommendations. Decisions we make will please some while disappointing others but at the end of the day that is what we are elected to do. I respect that process. I encourage you to go to any local news outlet and search my name. My positions on issues we have & do face are there.
