Savage deserves strong representation and a clear voice in county decision-making.
I will advocate for the priorities, goals, and needs of Savage residents while working collaboratively with neighboring communities and county leaders.
Taxpayer dollars should be managed carefully and efficiently.
My experience on the Savage City Council helped maintain sound financial practices and contributed to Savage's AAA bond rating.
As County Commissioner, I will continue to focus on responsible budgeting while protecting essential county services.
One of the most important questions we face is whether our children and grandchildren can afford to live in the communities where they grew up.
I support practical solutions that expand affordable and workforce housing opportunities while maintaining the character and quality of our neighborhoods.
Strong transportation systems support residents, businesses, and future growth. I will continue working to advance transportation improvements, including:
Highway 13 Corridor Improvements
Regional Transportation Partnerships
Enhanced Bus Transit Opportunities
Long-term transportation planning
Consideration of the Dan Patch Rail corridor
As a small business owner for more than 36 years, I understand the challenges and opportunities facing local businesses.
Scott County should foster a business-friendly environment that encourages investment, job creation, and economic growth.
Our future depends on preparing the next generation for success.
Through my work with SCALE and Live Learn Earn, I have focused on workforce readiness, housing, transportation, and educational opportunities
I support efforts to strengthen post-secondary educational options within Scott County and help retain local talent.
County government provides many services residents depend on every day, including:
Public Safety and Sheriff's Services
Veterans Services
Public Health
Mental Health Services
Parks and Trails
Roads and Transportation
Social Services
Child and Adult Protection
Libraries
Environmental Services
As state and federal funding changes and unfunded mandates increase, thoughtful leadership will be essential to maintaining these services efficiently and effectively.
The vitality and success of Scott County doesn't stop at the county line.
We must work with City, State, Regional and Neighboring Communities to collaborate on the success for all of us.
My current work with these many levels of government provides me the unique opportunity to hit the ground running without the learning curve.
Four decades of leadership in public service, business, the military, and the community — all pointing toward one goal: serving Savage and Scott County well.
