Experienced Leadership
Proven Results

Over the past dozen years, serving as your Council Member and Mayor, I am proud of the work done to improve Apple Valley's attractiveness to families and businesses, to keep Apple Valley safe and affordable, and to make the best use of all our resources.
- These attributes don't happen by accident - they require proactive and effective leadership, community focused values, and a collaborative mindset. While there is much to be proud of, there is still more work to do to ensure our community remains strong, vibrant and inviting for our next generations. I am grateful for your confidence and ask for your support on election day.
