Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am a product of the Ashwaubenon community and school system. I attended Valley View Elementary School, Parkview Middle School and Ashwaubenon High School. My first direct experience with the community was working for the Village of Ashwaubenon in the Street Department after graduation. I then obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration from UW-Platteville and later an MBA and Master of Science in Finance from UW-Whitewater.

In my professional experience, I currently work in capital management for a large insurance company. I previously worked as a Credit Analyst for a credit union, a Housing Market Analyst for a consulting firm and served as a Sergeant in the Wisconsin Army National Guard. My time as a Housing Market Analyst inspired me to get involved in my community and I joined several committees for the City of Sun Prairie including the Downtown Steering Committee, the Comprehensive Plan Committee and the Workforce Housing Committee.

The committee involvement, along with my professional roles, has given me in-depth experience when it comes to the biggest issue Ashwaubenon faces: how to manage the sustainable redevelopment of the village while preserving its character. I am positioned to take on this issue because I am aware of the challenges, I know how developers think, the financial process and the financial process and how to collaborate with local

governments.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• One of the more pressing issues for Ashwaubenon is that we have an aging population in a land-locked area. These two issues combined snowball and lead to higher housing prices, a lower number of new/young families, lower levels of school enrollment, and a declining tax base. In order to improve this situation, there are three areas that need to be addressed: housing solutions, village services, and re-development of the Stadium District.
• In terms of housing solutions, we need to encourage the development of additional options that fit the village’s needs and character. This should include housing developments that fit seniors’ needs for both independent living and assisted communities as well as developments targeted toward young families to attract them to the area.
• The redevelopment of the Stadium District, specifically the area east of Lambeau Field, is a priority because it gives the village an opportunity to thoughtfully reshape this area. The community should consider transitioning away from light industrial uses toward more pedestrian-friendly spaces that are inviting and attractive to young professionals and families. This aligns with the City of Green Bay’s intent to redevelop this area and presents an opportunity for our communities to work together.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Finance/budgeting, economic development, housing, public transit, walkable cities, downtown restoration, social equity, promotion of economic freedom and small-business deregulation are areas of public policy I am passionate about.

What qualities does this office possess that makes it a unique and important part of the state government and legal system?

Local offices, though often overlooked, tend to make the most decisions that directly affect people in their daily lives.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Honesty, integrity, courage, intelligence, open-mindedness, compassion and empathy are among the most important qualities for an elected official.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Do you believe that it's beneficial for holders of this office to have previous experience in government or politics?

While not explicitly necessary, it is beneficial to have an understanding of the basic functions of local government.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Financial transparency is extremely important as the public has a vested interest in understanding how their tax dollars are allocated.
