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.
