Tell us about yourself.
I grew up in Caledonia and graduated from Caledonia Area High School in 2010. I attended WesternTechnical College in La Crosse, Wis., and graduated with my associate degrees in Business Management
and Marketing in 2013. I am currently employed with a local business doing basic accounting and office administration work. This will be my third time running for local office. I ran as a write-in candidate for Houston County Commissioner in 2016 and was on the ballot for the special election in 2018. I can be found spending my spare time with my friends and family.
Why are you running for office?
There is a significant portion of my community that is underrepresented in local government; myself included. I want this to change and there are very few people who I would trust with that responsibility.
I would like to assist in fostering an environment within local government where transparency and efficiency are top priorities. The residents of our community need to be assured that their money is not going to waste and that someone is going to do the best they can to help them should they ever face an issue with the city government.
What do you hope to accomplish if you get elected?
The ultimate goal is to set an example that clearly demonstrates and defines the core responsibility of the city council; that is to represent the interests of the community. These interests will often conflict with those of the local government and when push comes to shove, the residents need to know that they have someone in their corner. Aside from that, closely monitoring expenses, finding/addressing wasteful spending, communicating in a clear/transparent manner with the community and effectively addressing all issues/concerns presented by the community should be priorities of all elected officials at all levels of government.
