I want to ensure that the community I live in has true representation on the Common Council. Like my parents and grandparents, I was born and raised in Sheboygan. And now that I'm raising my children here, I have a vested interest in seeing my hometown become an even better place to raise a family.

I believe one need is for an increase in leadership transparency. We need to hold city officials accountable to spend our tax dollars to improve streets, parks and infrastructure, and not on wasteful legal defense. I also believe that we ought to better manage and maintain our public facilities along our beautiful lakefront which will help encourage local business growth there and throughout the city. Ultimately, I'd love to see Sheboygan become an even better place to raise a family. We can do this by ensuring that police and fire services are always fully funded, incentivizing affordable family-friendly housing, and strengthening nonprofit organizations that support children and parents.

However, my first and foremost obligation as an alderman is to represent the people. I will do that by listening to the concerns of my community, specifically those in my district. I will prioritize the consensus of my constituency above my personal opinions. That should be the mandate every elected official should follow. And that is a promise I will make-- to thoughtfully listen to and be the voice of the people I represent on our city's common council.

I see how new apartment complexes are contributing to overall rising housing costs in our community. I would like to research solutions to incentivize the development of more family-friendly housing.

As a professional business analyst, I understand the importance of making good data-driven decisions and will bring my problem-solving skills to help craft policies that address our community’s needs.

Attracting young adults starting their careers is an important element to a city. However, getting them to stay as they start their families is vital. The family is the bedrock of society because it serves as the primary institution for socialization, emotional support, and economic stability. Sincere civic responsibility and sustainable growth comes primarily through a strong family structure. Any initiative that supports those things are desirable to young adults and families alike.

I hope to be a part of lowering your property taxes, increasing recreation opportunities for everyone, affordable housing and transparency in city government.

I want to be responsive to citizens in my district. I am a very good listener. I plan to hold "town hall" meetings at least quarterly.

I will vote in favor of all housing projects.

I have lived in District One most of my life. And I have seen what goes on in the city.

We need to maintain the amenities we have and keep Sheboygan one of the best places to raise a family.
