Our Features
Priorities
Public Safety
Ensuring public safety is not just a commitment for me—it's a mission I take to heart. I believe our law enforcement officers are the backbone of our community, and they deserve our full support and recognition. By prioritizing their protection and securing robust funding, we empower them to uphold the Constitution with the highest level of integrity and dedication. Investing in their training and equipment is not just a duty; it's a way to ensure that every officer can maintain a safe and just environment for all of us.
Liberty
Liberty is the cornerstone of our national identity, and I honor it with unwavering dedication. The Bill of Rights isn’t just a historical document—it’s the foundation of our freedoms. I am committed to defending these rights, ensuring that every American can enjoy their freedoms without compromise. Our track record in protecting these liberties is something I’m proud of, and I’m dedicated to continuing this vital work to uphold the principles that make our democracy strong.
Infrastructure Improvement
Improving our infrastructure has been a significant focus for me. During my time on the Ramsey City Council, I championed the replacement of the Franchise Fee with a dedicated Tax Levy. This change not only fixed the contribution at a stable percentage but also scaled with growth, generating over $2,000,000 annually specifically for road improvements. I’m proud of this achievement and its impact on our community’s infrastructure, and I remain committed to continuing these efforts to ensure our roads and public facilities meet our growing needs.
Protecting the Vulnerable
Standing up for the vulnerable is something I’m deeply passionate about. Every person’s inherent worth and dignity are non-negotiable, and I am committed to protecting those whose rights might be at risk. Our proactive efforts to advocate for these individuals reflect our shared values of justice and respect. I take pride in our achievements in safeguarding these rights and am dedicated to ensuring that every person’s voice is heard and their dignity upheld.
Pro-Business
Creating a thriving business environment in Ramsey is a goal I’ve actively pursued. As a former member of the Ramsey City Council and the Economic Development Authority, I was entrusted with the responsibility of fostering a pro-business climate. Now, as a current member of the Planning Commission and a local Ramsey business owner, I’ve seen firsthand the positive impact of our efforts and the opportunities for further improvement. I’m excited about the progress we’ve made and am committed to continuing to support local businesses, reduce regulations, and create a vibrant, competitive environment for all entrepreneurs.
Fiscal Responsibility
Balancing tax policies with high-quality public services is a challenge I take seriously. I’m committed to maintaining low taxes while ensuring that our community receives the excellent services it deserves. My approach to fiscal responsibility is about being wise stewards of public funds, and I’m proud of our success in sustaining both economic vitality and community well-being. By carefully navigating our financial decisions, I strive to keep our community’s needs met without compromising on quality or efficiency.
