My Top Issues
Infrastructure / Transportation
Being "Future Focused, Heritage Inspired" means we embrace progress and new opportunities thoughtfully, ensuring that as we grow, we don't lose the essence of what makes our community special. It’s about intelligently weaving the new with the old, so that our children can build their own happy memories here, just as we have, in a city that feels both familiar and full of promise for what lies ahead.
Economy
Imagine more local spots where families can gather, diverse shops that meet our daily needs, and services that make life more convenient, all while boosting our local economy. This isn't just about convenience; it's about building a more connected and self-sufficient community within our district, reducing the need to travel far for basic necessities and creating vibrant local hubs that enhance our quality of life and support our entrepreneurs.
Taxes / Budget
In an era where economic landscapes can shift unexpectedly, maintaining our city's vibrancy requires more than just traditional approaches. This means diligently seeking out innovative grant opportunities, fostering public-private partnerships, and exploring every avenue to secure resources responsibly. My commitment is to ensure Wheat Ridge can continue to fund essential services and invest in our future without placing undue burdens on our taxpayers, ensuring a stable and prosperous environment for all our families and businesses.
Infrastructure / Transportation
Our roads, water systems, public safety facilities, and digital connectivity are not just background elements; they are vital to our daily lives, the success of our businesses, and the safety of our families. My pledge is to advocate for smart, timely, and sustainable investments in these essential systems, ensuring that Wheat Ridge is not only prepared for today’s needs but is also building a resilient and reliable framework for generations to come. It’s important to maintain our critical infrastructure before breakage occurs, when repairs are most costly.
