Government Reform A huge part of local government is communication. Our city council cannot make informed decisions and be a good steward of your tax dollars without your input. Open lines of communication are critical to me, and as your city councilman, I will establish those so I can hear about the issues impacting you. Local government is for everyone, and I’m running to ensure it stays that way for tomorrow. Government Reform I'm also a big believer in public-private partnerships. On the county board, I’ve helped cultivate and strengthen these partnerships in our community so local government and nonprofits can work on the same mission together to help solve pressing local issues. On city council, I’ll continue to be a voice for collaboration between city government and our local nonprofits. Taxes / Budget I'm also a believer in responsible budgeting, and we should be working to reduce our long term debt load while still ensuring that services are well funded. Housing Housing is one of my top concerns. We face a housing shortage in Oshkosh, and we need more workforce housing if we're going to compete as a city that people want to settle in.
