my mission
I advocate for roundabouts at suitable intersections and adaptive signals to clear congestion.
I endorse elevated enforcement of speeding and red light laws to make streets safer.
To improve pedestrian and cyclist mobility, I favor sidewalks, wider paved paths, and accessible crosswalks where they make sense.
streamlining traffic
I examine appropriations to internal departments and external agencies to confirm returns on investment. We must simultaneously ensure that our first responders are fully staffed and equipped to protect us.
In general, I don’t think it’s prudent to renovate Toyota Field beyond league standards.
Before major decisions are made, the justification for each should be communicated clearly. Sufficient time must be set aside to notify the public and solicit input.
fiscal responsibility
Madison City Schools (MCS) bolsters our property values and empowers the next generation. After speaking with many stakeholders, I concluded that the system should keep receiving the half cent sales tax dedicated to education. As a result, I voted for its indefinite renewal.
I support the continued appointment of sound, qualified members to the MCS Board of Education.
upholding schools
I host an office hour before each regular Council meeting so residents can share their views. I also update constituents via a weekly digest, social media, and surveys. The data I collect inform the positions I take.
I encourage the boards and committees for which I’m the Council liaison to maintain current minutes and calendars. My hope is that this fosters better understanding and engagement.
community connection
I back savvy opportunities to preserve green spaces, trails, and mature trees.
I think it would increase quality of life to add restrooms to some City parks. To that end, I’m going to explore how to fund their construction.
To avoid straining streets and services further, I’ll champion a slower rate of residential development than what’s been approved in the past.
