Issues

As a leader, I am committed to making New Baltimore the best town it can be. Whether you are looking to raise your family, enjoy your retirement, or start a business, you need a government that works for you. That means focusing on improving our long term planning, modernizing our operations, investing in our community, and improving service delivery. Working with council, I'm confident we can do just that. 

Issues

1. Rebuilding trust, ensuring accountability

1. Rebuilding trust, ensuring accountability

As mayor, among my first priorities will be putting forward a series of reforms and proposals in the areas of financial oversight, city ethics, communication, and citizen participation. Taken together, my goal is to repair frayed ties across city government and get us working together again. Regardless of who is in charge, these are common sense measures that will ensure a government that's more modern, fair, and representative.

2. Addressing Infrastructure Quality & Resiliency

2. Addressing Infrastructure Quality & Resiliency

Healthy infrastructure is essential for our community. I've spent my entire career on council focusing on these issues & seeking to modernize our approach. I'll be laser focused on planning for our future and continuing that work. As someone whose home was impacted by the 2023 flooding, I understand how essential storm water system planning and maintenance is.

3. Spurring Economic Development

3. Spurring Economic Development

Encouraging development and the growth of business is good for our city & taxpayers alike. It's why I believe the city should always take a competitive approach to economic development and be focused on changing the climate here in New Baltimore.

4 Developing a real maritime strategy for downtown

4 Developing a real maritime strategy for downtown

The city has long sought to develop our docks and we've taken steps in that direction across administrations. As mayor, I'll look to widen our view on this using my industry experience and connections to develop a plan to fund the project and protect taxpayers from shouldering the cost.

5. Keeping Our Community Safe

5. Keeping Our Community Safe

New Baltimore consistently ranks as one of the safest communities in our state. I'll keep supporting our police and fire so that they can do what they do best - keep our city safe.

6. Creating A Better Connected Government

6. Creating A Better Connected Government

You deserve a representative that is accessible and listens to you, even if we don't always agree. While I have sought find new ways to remain open to you, it's just part of what we need. Technology can help us create a better government and we should be using it to the greatest extent possible.

7. Promoting Arts & Culture in Our Community

7. Promoting Arts & Culture in Our Community

Integrating more arts centered activities and attractions into our lives creates a more welcoming and enriching environment for our town to thrive in. I'm proud to support efforts to do just that.
