Education I’ll coordinate with MCPASD, Madison College, UW Madison, Edgewood University, and City staff on ways to engage students in city government and local problem solving so that young people can get early exposure to public service and to civic responsibilities like voting. Environment / Energy City residents value parks, trails, and conservancy lands because they make Middleton a great place to live, raise a family, and retire. Each year, we add more acres of parks and conservancy lands and more miles of trails. I support the staff’s efforts to write long-term plans for maintaining what we currently have. As mayor, I’ll work with the city administration and finance department to submit a balanced, affordable budget that demonstrates Middleton’s commitment to our green spaces and our incredible network of trails. Infrastructure / Transportation Transportation goes hand-in-hand with housing. I’ll advocate for improving and adhering to our “Complete Streets Policy” so that roadways are safe and accessible to all users, including pedestrians, people using bikes and other mobility devices, transit riders, and drivers. Housing Housing is our #1 issue as a city. I spent 2025 working on the city’s first Affordable Housing Action Plan along with staff and members of the Workforce Housing Committee and Community Development Authority. As mayor, I’ll assist the Council, city staff and committees, and our partners in implementing the plan.
