A Collaborative Facilitator to bring together Council, Community and Staff

I fully support retention of our Local Police. Securing our local police is essential for safety, yet placed at risk by fiscal deficits.

My Approach

I have been a vigorous advocate of safety, fiscal responsibility, transparency, and local land rights while preserving and protecting PVE for over a decade. Retaining and securing our local police is essential for safety.

Our most significant issue is financial, and it has only gotten worse the past few years. We just spent over $3 million in federal Covid funds. Yet, we are still running a multi-million-dollar cash deficit, meaning we are spending our savings to stay afloat. This is not sustainable.

We need to stop spending time and money on unnecessary projects such as the tree inventory, roundabout, new city hall buildings, rezoning La Venta, etc. and focus on solving critical issues.

My knowledge of the city budget and debt is extensive. I have studied the issues and have fresh recommendations so I can hit the ground running on day one. I pledge to communicate effectively and engage residents in the process.  Our City policies and expenditures need to align with the priorities of the residents.

We need to bring people together for a better path forward.

This begins by building trust.
