I attended Council as a citizen for months, then in fall of 2018 as a Council member, growing my knowledge of local government extensively. Growth continued as Council President, increasing even more with continued years as Council member. Serving as Mayor since March 2025 additionally increased my knowledge and skills of managing a city efficiently & effectively, and understanding gov't finances. Additionally, I have strong proficiency in leading people to perform well, and developing & improving processes. These are critical skills to lead Lander into a strong future.
City government’s role is to provide a “fertile field” where residents want to live & shop, and where businesses want to be. I’ll continue providing statutorily required services like public safety, and continue offering as many quality-of-life services as possible, as efficiently as possible. I’ve built strong relationships with many local and county entities, and will continue to partner with other governments in Fremont County as well as business-support focused entities. Lander and Fremont County is small enough to work together, and too small not to!
I’m proud that I’ve contributed to these efforts and will continue to:
- Seek external funding for infrastructure projects (road, water/sewer) and quality of life projects to minimize financial impact on residents while making Lander a better place to call home
- Increase transparency across all city functions, and continue meeting with and addressing residents’ concerns
- Work within Lander government and with Lander, county, state and federal partners for our economic vibrancy, including increasing reasonable housing for our workforce and neighbors on limited budgets.
Public safety is my #1 priority, and I’m thrilled that stats show that Lander is safer than ever Crimes of all types are down substantially, some as much as 30%. Citizen engagement and volunteerism is a clear indicator of vibrancy, and Lander has a terrific level of both, from the LVFD volunteers to the many non-profit board members whose missions improve lives of residents in sports, arts, and services. Lander is blessed with highly active service clubs. It’s also important to have a community that discusses its beliefs and differences in a healthy, respectful way.
