As local legislators who sometimes have executive power, council members can propose ordinances, set administrative policy, and authorize the budget proposed by the mayor. They oversee all city activities, including city services, programs, licensing, and public safety. Mayoral appointments to city government typically require council approval.

I care deeply about Robbinsdale, and it's future. I believe that fresh ideas & perspective will contribute to the strength of Ward 2 & the city overall.
-Electric rapid busses on Bottineau Boulevard instead of light rail, and enhancing all pedestrian crossings at Bottineau. -Increased promotion & continued strategic development of the downtown Robbinsdale area. -Enhance & re-develop our public spaces, parks, trails, & their overall connectivity.
Treating each community member as an equal. We are all neighbors, and share a common interest in the overall prosperity of our area.
Communicate effectively with with my neighbors in Ward 2 on an ongoing basis. Accountability starts with listing to the voters, and ends with professionalism & leadership from the city council seat.
I do not support the current alignment on Bottineau Boulevard.

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.
