Open and Collaborative Governance

I know my biases and work hard to understand those with opposing views to create collaborative outcomes. Over the past 4 years I’ve seen the consequences of not listening which erodes trust and respect. I am passionate, but not polarizing. I advocate for my principles, but am not antagonistic.

As your Mayor I will remain accessible and create a culture of collaboration and cooperation.
