I’ve been in the town of Sheboygan 50-plus years. The town of Sheboygan is a great place to live, raise a family, work and relax, along with having great amenities and low taxes. Additionally, it’s safe and growing. I have experienced its growth from a small rural agriculture community to what it is today; a well-organized, thought-out township and great community. My intent is to assist the town with continuing that direction, ensuring we maintain and improve our community/lifestyle while at the same time keeping the taxes low and our neighborhoods safe.

Sustainability! The town of Sheboygan is a great place to live. It’s safe, clean and friendly. We have good schools and beautiful parks. We have nice restaurants and places to shop. Our growth over the past 30-plus years has been organized and controlled. We have low taxes along with a small community feeling, but large-town amenities and services. Now, as we move forward, we need to keep that small community feeling as we advance into the next several decades. We need to continue to be disciplined, thoughtful and deliberate as we strategically move forward so as to ensure positive and beneficial results.

I have lived in the Town of Sheboygan over 35 years. I would like to continue to be the woman's voice for the Town of Sheboygan. Currently, I am the only woman on all of the boards and commissions in the Town of Sheboygan. I was appointed by the Chairman 3 years ago for an unexpired term of a fellow woman supervisor. I then ran unopposed for a 2 year term in which I was victorious. I would like to continue to ask the important questions that need to be asked and will not be a yes supervisor.

Be the supervisor who asks the important questions for my constituents. Watch the Town's dollars being spent wisely and not approve projects that are not budgeted unless it is an emergency situation. Make sure there are always at least 2 bids on prospective purchases. Continue to increase the Town tax base grow with businesses and residential developments and keep Town taxes down.

My previous job was a judicial assistant for Sheboygan County. I was always trouble shooting in that job and finding better ways to accomplish a common goal. I have held many leadership roles in the past and continue to give back to my church and my community. In my early work life, I worked for the County Clerk's office which gave me insight to county government and began my interest in government.
