Sioux Falls has grown since we made our home here in 2007 and I am proud of the strong, safe community we've built. I value the safety of our neighborhoods, the responsiveness of our fire department, and the city's commitment to addressing everyday concerns like potholes. 

 

Transportation is a top priority for me. I support safely accelerating construction timelines in the short term while planning smarter, long-term solutions to improve traffic flow across our growing city. 

 

I also believe our parks and play spaces should encourage natural, hands-on play. Options like sand, pea rock, and water features give kids the freedom to explore and be creative. 

​

My leadership style is rooted in thoughtful decision-making and collaboration. By weighting risks and benefits and asking the right questions, I will work to bring people together and find practical solutions.  

​

As Sioux Falls continues to prosper, I would be honored to represent the Southeast District on City Council.  Vote June 2!
