I have lived in Clearwater Township since 1992. I have 12 years of small business ownership experience. I served on the Clearwater Township Land Use advisory committee to help guide growth decisions in our township. I currently work in the Process Improvement field. With these experiences I believe I bring an analytical and methodical approach to understanding issues within our community and finding best practice solutions.

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota and North Dakota crafted the questions sent to the candidates in the Spring of 2024. They reached out to candidates based on contact information in their public candidate filings. Candidates with email addresses were invited and reminded with emails. Candidates with only mailing addresses were sent a letter. Candidates with phone numbers received a phone call as well.

Candidate responses are published as they responded and have not been edited, except when responses were longer than the given character limit. In those cases, the responses are truncated.
