I believe I am well qualified to serve as Lowry’s City Treasurer because I bring direct experience managing and overseeing public finances at both the city and county levels. I served as the City Finance Director for Glenwood for three years and currently serve as the Deputy Auditor-Treasurer for Stevens County.

These roles have given me valuable experience with municipal finances, budgeting, financial accountability, and responsible management of public funds. In a small community like Lowry, every dollar matters, and I understand the importance of transparency, accuracy, and careful stewardship of taxpayer resources.

I am committed to serving Lowry with honesty, accountability, and accessibility. I would take the responsibility of City Treasurer seriously and use my experience to help ensure our city’s finances are managed responsibly and in the best interest of our residents.
The top change I would work toward is greater financial transparency and organization. I want residents to have a clear understanding of the city’s financial position, how public funds are being used, and where the city stands with its budget.

In a community as small as Lowry, maintaining accurate records and strong financial practices is especially important. I would look for opportunities to improve reporting, organization, and communication while building on the systems already in place. My goal would be to make the city’s finances easier to track, understand, and manage responsibly.

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.
