Fairfax City Council

I have had connections to Fairfax for 20 years and have been a resident for 12 years. I have always enjoyed the outdoors, reading, animals and gardening. I am happy when spending time with my family, friends and traveling.

1. If elected, what would be your top three priorities while serving on the Fairfax City Council?

No Heavy Industrial in Fairfax. Fixing our streets fairly. Making Fairfax more walkable and bike-friendly.

2. What do you see as the top issue facing Fairfax today, and how do you believe the City Council could help address it?

Listening to residents. I believe that the City Council answers to the residents and should represent the interests of the whole community, not just a few select individuals. Given this, the top issue facing our community, in my opinion, is information that is provided to residents and the manner in which it is disseminated. City Council needs to be more proactive in making sure any information provided to residents is accurate, easy to find as well as having a consistent format for residents to ask questions and get answers.

3. Alliant Energy has proposed the construction of a natural gas power plant to be built in Fairfax. What are your thoughts on this proposal, and do you think the City Council should be supportive of the project?

I am not in favor of any heavy industrial zoned properties in our small town community. I believe that there are better ways to protect our community and at the same time promote smart, balanced growth.

4. Within the last year, the city of Fairfax has altered its leadership structure to bring on a city administrator. If elected, how would you work to develop and maintain an effective and productive relationship with the administrator and with city staff more broadly?

I would have the expectation that the City Administrator would be respectful, open, accessible and transparent with all council members as well as with the general public. I would expect all city staff to be respectful to all residents and support the city council members in accurate and transparent ways. I believe in truth, honesty and respect. As an elected official, that would continue in any interactions with the City Administrator, city staff and all residents.
