Serving you the past six years has been a tremendous privilege. When I stepped forward to represent you, I understood there would be tough challenges, but I ran to make a difference. The residents of the 9th District wanted and deserved a better return on their tax dollars streaming into Milwaukee County. Since 2012, I’ve worked tirelessly toward financial equity that has resulted in bringing your money back home where it matters.
We know that Wisconsin is “Open for Business”. The undeveloped land in southern Milwaukee County is the prime geographic location to attract business from Illinois and the entire country. The proximity to downtown Milwaukee, the airport, the freeway, and Chicago make this one of the most valuable locations in the region. We need strong leadership and innovative ideas to leverage this valuable resource to the advantage of our County.
A strong County is one that is managed in a fiscally practical manner while prioritizing the quality-of-life features that make us a community we can be proud of. There is always more work to be done and a watchful eye is needed in government. I greatly appreciate the faith you have bestowed in me as your County Supervisor. You can be confident in my continued commitment toward Moving Milwaukee County Forward.- Proven Leadership It’s easy to state rhetoric on what one thinks they will do. I have a results-driven track record that has succeeded in addressing the reconstruction of neglected and crumbling roads, park and pool rehabilitation, and the protection of senior programs. I listened to you and took a strong stand against the wheel tax. These are not things you step into as a novice and simply accomplish. It takes experience, perseverance and a strong, proven leader with a promise of keeping your voice heard. Milwaukee County faces challenges that can’t afford the learning curve of changing the horse in midstream.
- Proven Results During my two terms in office, I have worked tirelessly to make our communities whole by allocating funding back to our District. Projects such as Bender Park and 13th Street in Oak Creek, North Cape Road, St. Martins Road, Old Ryan Road, 68th Street and 76th Street in Franklin have all been reconstructed. Those using Hales Corners Pool will notice the new pool liner and pool house roof installed to preserve its operation for future generations.
- Responsible and Balanced Government I opposed Chris Abele’s $60 wheel tax and his idea to charge you to park in your County Parks. I supported methods to avoid closing pools that families enjoy or closing shelters affecting the homeless because Abele didn’t get his way. My strong stance to his king-like power has placed a target on my back so he can force more taxes and fees upon you without opposition. When his money helps to produce attack ads on me and support puff pieces for my opponent, it risks maintaining your representation in favor of a rubber stamp of his policies.
