Campaign website

Vogel's campaign website stated the following:

Why I’m Running


The town has been evolving for years, and yet our board has remained fairly static. My opponents have run unopposed for 12 years straight! It’s time for a change, and I will bring good ideas and new energy to the board.

A clear example of why this change is necessary can be seen in the Board’s response to the shipping container house built on the river a few years ago. Despite the home being an award-winning, artistic design, the Board viewed it as a threat rather than an innovation. Instead of drafting even-handed, well-thought-out ordinances to manage this new style of architecture, they enacted a reactionary six-month moratorium based on the fear of "ugly, rusty containers" appearing throughout town.

That moratorium hasn't been reviewed since. Rather than guiding growth to fit our community, the current leadership chose to simply shut it down and hope it went away.

We need a new voice on the Town Board—one that isn’t afraid of change, but understands how to help it fit within our community’s character. Serving in local government and representing the people can be a difficult path, but it gives me an opportunity to speak up about things I care about. It’s why I got into politics in the first place.


Development


Development in the town of Grafton is inevitable — other people also want to live and work amongst the same beauty that current residents enjoy.

Nobody wants unchecked development. I have represented the Town of Grafton for 11 years on the Planning Commission and 2 years as a County Supervisor. Serving in local government has given me the chance to steer local projects in a way that protects our rural character and natural resources, rather than just letting development happen.

An example of this is a small local golf driving range that I helped approve, rather than leaving that land open to annexation and development as apartments or an industrial site.
