Public Elected Offices Held Alderman ward 2
Incumbent? YES or NO Yes
The biggest issue facing our community is managing growth in a way that protects quality of life. We’re seeing new housing, infrastructure improvements, and business interest which is exciting but growth must be intentional.

My focus is on attracting grocery stores and essential services, supporting mixed-income housing, investing in infrastructure like Blue Ridge and Main Street, and ensuring our schools are aligned with city planning.

Growth is good but only when it works for families.
I am running to ensure Grandview’s growth remains responsible, fiscally sound, and centered on families.

As the current Alderwoman for Ward 2 and former President of the Hickman Mills School Board, and current board member I bring executive leadership experience, budget oversight, and a proven record of collaboration. My community service across nonprofit and civic organizations has strengthened my understanding of local needs.

Ward 2 deserves experienced leadership that delivers results and I am prepared to continue that work.
