I'm a Listener, Learner and Leelanau for Lifer

Though the role of a County Commissioner is not always glamourous, I'm up to the task of maintaining the systems established by my predecessors. I'm excited to assist our community with the aptitude to learn and govern pragmatically.

Running for county commissioner in Leelanau County, Michigan, I believe in the power of listening to residents, building consensus, and making decisions that serve our community for the long term. Our county faces diverse challenges and opportunities, from balancing growth in our towns to preserving our rural landscapes and supporting our local businesses. I am committed to being a responsive and attentive leader who prioritizes the voices of all residents in shaping our collective future.

Building consensus is essential to effective governance. As your County Commissioner, I will work tirelessly to bring together stakeholders from all backgrounds and viewpoints. By fostering open dialogue and respectful debate, we can find innovative solutions to complex issues such as infrastructure improvements, healthcare access, and education funding. Together, we can create policies that reflect the values and aspirations of our entire community.

Making decisions for the long term requires foresight and a commitment to sustainable practices. I will advocate for initiatives that promote economic resilience, environmental stewardship, and social equity. This includes investing in renewable energy projects, supporting local agriculture, and enhancing our infrastructure to withstand future challenges. By planning strategically and considering the needs of future generations, we can ensure that Leelanau County remains a desirable place to live, work, and raise a family.
