Plans to prioritize responsible growth and ensure residents are informed, included, and heard before major changes.

Over the years, I have watched our town grow and change. Growth can be positive, but only when handled responsibly and with the community’s best interest at heart. Too often, it feels like decisions are made without enough input from the people who live here. I believe our voices matter, and we deserve to be informed, included, and heard before major changes take place.

Plans a fundraiser to support the police department's needs.

One moment that confirmed my decision to run was attending a recent town meeting. As I listened to discussions about budgeting and the police department’s needs, my first instinct was action. I began thinking about ways I could help and started planning a fundraiser to support them. When I see a need, I don’t wait—I step in and find a way to make a difference.

Calls for clear communication and honest answers about infrastructure, water concerns, and resource use.

One of my biggest motivations is restoring connection and trust between leadership and the community. I want to bring back the feeling that we are all in this together—that concerns are heard and needs are prioritized. Whether it is infrastructure, water concerns, or how resources are used, residents deserve clear communication and honest answers.
