Smart, planned growth: infrastructure must be in place before new development is approved. Fiscal accountability: transparent budgets and responsible use of public funds. Government transparency: decisions made in the open with real community input before votes are cast. District 7 deserves a council member who leads with data, not politics.
I've spent over 15 years at the intersection of government, public safety and data including at St. Charles city police as a crime and GIS analyst and St. Charles County emergency communications supporting 911. I hold a GISP certification and help agencies make smarter infrastructure decisions. I understand why data integrity, accountability and transparency matter.
