Responsible Budgeting - To maintain the high level of service our residents expect and deserve, we must make responsible budget decisions that preserve critical programs while minimizing additional property tax burdens on county taxpayers.
Affordable Housing - Attracting and retaining the workforce needed to support our growing economy requires a sufficient supply of affordable housing options. Ensuring that people can afford to live and work in Olmsted County is essential to our long-term prosperity.
Public Safety - We must continue to support the efforts of the Olmsted County Sheriff's Office by ensuring law enforcement has the resources, personnel, and tools necessary to keep our communities safe.
Olmsted County officials do an excellent job administering our elections and work hard to ensure they are safe, secure and fair. Their efforts have led to high levels of voter trust and engagement that exceed state and national levels. As county officials that oversee the administration of elections, it is our responsibility to ensure their integrity. That will be a top priority throughout my tenure in office.
Over the next decade, Olmsted County will face significant challenges from federal funding reductions, most specifically cuts to SNAP and Medicaid. Counties are on the front lines of administering these programs, and when federal support declines, local governments often face increased costs and responsibilities.
I will continue to advocate for fiscal restraint, responsible budgeting, and the protection of critical services for the most vulnerable members of our community.
The Olmsted County Policy Analysis and Communications (PAC) office conducts research and analysis to support important internal policy and operational decisions or community initiatives, facilitates process improvement for business units to support a culture of continuous improvement, and guides strategic planning and measurement to ensure we meet our long-term county goals and vision.

Engagement means listening before deciding. It means ensuring that neighborhoods, businesses, underserved communities, and residents all have a voice in decisions that shape Olmsted County. That's why I have consistently advocated for greater public involvement in major projects, including the future of the Seneca Foods site. I regularly engage with constituents through Letters to the Editor, Facebook posts, statements at County Board meetings, and my annual constituent letter.
