my priorities
Recent growth has amplified our city’s traffic. I’ll advocate for roundabouts and adaptive signals to clear roads.
I’ll champion elevated enforcement of speeding and red light laws.
To improve pedestrian and cyclist mobility, I’ll push for sidewalks, wider paved paths, and accessible crosswalks wherever possible.
streamlining traffic
budgeting responsibly
I favor renovating Toyota Field to league standards using reserve funds (less than $8M) rather than adding debt (at least $20M).
Before decisions are made on large-scale projects, I believe the economic case for each ought to be shared clearly with the public.
I'll examine appropriations to internal departments and external agencies to confirm returns on investment.
upholding schools
Madison City Schools is a selling point for the community that bolsters our property values. I’ll make sure the system’s infrastructure and leaders enable students and staff to thrive.
I propose an appointed youth council (grades 7 through 12), with representatives from all seven districts, to advise the city’s government and learn about its operations.
I plan to host a town hall before each council meeting to solicit feedback on the agenda. I’ll also update constituents weekly via email, the city’s website, and Facebook.
To enhance understanding and engagement, I’ll encourage Madison’s boards and committees to keep their minutes up to date and calendars current.
Since I’m wholly committed to advancing residents’ goals, I decline all contributions from developers, special interest groups, and political action committees.
engaging the community
I’ll pursue savvy opportunities to preserve green spaces, trails, and mature trees.
Neighborhood parks (Brass Oak, Homestead, and Rollingwood, for example) would benefit from equipment upgrades, restrooms, and water fountains. I intend to explore those options.
To avoid straining services and streets further, I’ll vote for a slower rate of residential development.
