Platform

I am excited about the potential opportunity to represent and serve you. I will work hard to be your voice as a Waukee resident. I will listen to your thoughts, ideas, questions, and concerns. I will make decisions focused on the future and what is best for our great community long term. I will base my approach on the following guiding principles: communication, respect, commitment, integrity, and sound judgement.

 

I have always asked "why?". This helps me really understand a particular topic in detail and think about it from various angles and perspectives. I will continue to ask "why?". 

​

It would be an honor to receive your vote on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. ​

​

We are in this together! ​

Responsibility

As a council member, I have a responsibility to Waukee residents and our community to be involved and approachable.​

 

I will strive to work hard as a servant leader for our community. I will focus on teamwork and empathy. I will depersonalize conflict by shifting the focus from isolated, individual thoughts to the actual issues that need to be addressed.  

​

I will work hard to ensure we continue to have strong connections between the City Administration, Mayor, City, Council, residents, and stakeholders.

Focus

Long Term Vision

For each individual decision or vote, I will focus with the future in mind and what is best for Waukee long term.

 

Fiscal Management and Two Crucial Activities

1) Budget - It is important to me that we align the budget with community needs. The city expenditures provide services to our residents including public safety, public works, culture, community development, utilities, and services. The city needs to generate and collect revenue to pay for these services. The budget process should ensure financial accountability and transparency. 

 

​2) Strategic planning - This is my opportunity to stay informed and remain in close contact with residents, in order to make rational decisions for our community issues and opportunities. The annual strategic planning process will define clear goals and priorities that guide our city toward a future we desire.​

Opportunities

Waukee leadership has done a tremendous job to get Waukee to where it is today. We need to continue this momentum. 

​

This list of topics is being developed as I meet with you throughout the community. This is where I am spending time to understand what is best for our community. This by no means is an exhaustive list and will adapt with our community needs.
