Why am I running for Mayor?
The city of Shoreview has been my home for over 30 years during which I have appreciated its services, amenities and strong sense of community. I believe my experience as mayor, on the city council, and as a volunteer provides strong, experienced leadership to continue that tradition and provide strategic leadership toward its future. I appreciate your continued support!
What will I bring to the City?
First and foremost, my passion for the city of Shoreview. In addition to two years as Mayor and six years on the City Council, I bring leadership and collaboration experience from my business career at Thomson Reuters in a variety of roles. Prior to running for City Council, I volunteered for both the Shoreview Economic Development Commission and the Economic Development Authority, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of supporting local business growth and retention in our community. Local businesses bring stability and good paying jobs to Shoreview. Housing needs continue to be a top priority and my Economic Development Authority experience has allowed me to work on policy and initiatives that support affordable housing and expand programs for new and existing homeowners to purchase and/or improve their homes.
What do I hope to achieve?
It’s important to maintain focus on what has made our city successful: collaborative leadership, maintaining our high financial rating and quality of life, and keeping an eye on future needs and opportunities. My plan is to continue focusing on Shoreview economic development and on housing policy and initiatives that provide the opportunity for an optimal quality life to all of our residents.
