Why I'm Running for City Council

​

There are many personal reasons compelling me to run; a sense of civic duty, for starters. But here is what I want you to know:

I truly do want to represent the hard working people in Ward 1, and their families, their friends, their neighbors.

I've been where some of you are. I've experienced working a full -time job while raising  a family, caring for aging family members, all while trying to engaging with the community.

​I honestly understand the struggles of a single parent.

​

​I can see the heartache of those who don't seem to fit in.

​

​As a city council person I will stand up for, and represent, the busy working families who can't attend city council meetings, or the folks who don't feel they have a voice in our City Hall. 

I will be your voice.

​

I grew up as the second child of 5, with an ingrained desire to be the peacemaker.

I learned at an early age problems can’t be solved if we aren’t willing to

talk to each other, and to listen with a will to learn not just an urge to respond.

​

Today's political climate needs people with good listening skills.

 

​My core beliefs...
• Listen to every voice, especially the ones you don’t agree with
• Be willing to act in any way possible
• Be an advocate for the marginalized
• Put people over politics
• Use your voice
