As an alderman for 8 years, I have strived to be a servant leader and to make a positive impact on our community. I believe Oconomowoc deserves leadership that unites, listens, and leads with integrity and I'm ready to bring that to the mayor's office. My primary goal is to enhance the quality of life for all residents by ensuring public safety, fostering smart economic development, and keeping taxes low while still providing the excellent services our residents expect and deserve.
This is an ongoing challenge and yet, a great opportunity. Implementing equitable development, engaging in community-focused outreach, and reforming infrastructure to be inclusive will be key.
Continuing to collaborate with our police leadership is key. My opponent led a charge in 2021 to close our dispatch center & consolidate with Waukesha County against the expertise of our police chief & at a time when WCC was woefully understaffed. Response times went up, our officers were dangerously having to share channels with other communities, & we were unsafe for over a year putting our residents at risk. Our citizens deserve to feel safe and I plan to ensure that basic need.
We live in the gem of lake country with so many lakes and natural resources, and it is important to be stewards for the next generations to come. I will be mindful of addressing climate change because of potential vulnerability to its impacts. Investing in green infrastructure, energy efficiency, and sustainable waste management can all be a part of it.
Strengthening intergovernmental relationships can be accomplished by initiating formal, regular communication, aligning on shared regional goals (housing, economic development) and fostering trust.
