I would like to be involved. Not just in the meetings, but also in the community where I live. Things are always changing, growing, and shifting directions. I believe I can contribute positively to the development and direction of this community. I can bring a solid moral character, a family based mindset, and a diverse base of perspectives to the committee.
1. Maintain low tax level – I have always been pleased how the council members made a point of leaving as much money in the pockets of the residents as they were able. 2. Continue to evaluate city ordinances for relevance – I would like to assist in shaping the policies to balance the freedoms of the individual, but for the benefit of many. 3. My main proprieties as a first term as an elected official would be to learn. I can’t serve the people of Milaca unless I know how too.
1. I will strive to listen to the people. This can be challenging, but necessary for the betterment of the community. 2. I will try to understand concerns from other people’s perspective. I won’t agree with everyone, but if I can find understanding, I can find common ground. 3. I will continue to live and participate in the activities of the community. You can generally find me at home working on a project, but I am always happy to greet neighbors as we share this community together.
I think local government needs to be very transparent. Local elected officials can only be effective in the community if the residents of that community trust them. I think city government needs to regularly advertise in a way that lets people know all the options to be aware of what is happening in the community. Flyers in the water bill, more postings on the community board, more of a social media presence, are a few ways to achieve this.

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.
