I’ll bring fresh, critical-thinking to the group. My perspective and style aren't necessarily better, they are just different, and that's what this council needs.
Preserve Our Rural Character: Support thoughtful updates to our Comprehensive Plan that welcome new opportunities while protecting Greenfield’s rural charm.

Focus on Action & Results: Bring a prepared, constructive, and efficient approach to every meeting so the council stays focused on solving problems and getting things done for residents.

Represent YOU: A city council member's primary role is to serve as a trusted proxy for their community, prioritizing the collective voice, needs, and well
I want to open up better lines of communication between residents and our city council. While social media often creates noise rather than dialogue, and our city newsletter only provides one-way updates, we need genuine two-way communication. I’d like to explore modern options, like dedicated city text or email messaging platforms, that facilitate open, honest, and productive conversations where neighbors feel heard and informed.
I won't accept single-option proposals at face value. I will consistently ask staff and council colleagues for alternative approaches, cost estimates, and long-term consequences.

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.
