Welcome to my Blog!

Greetings!

As many of you know, I'm running for City Council in Chaska. As Jay Rohe is stepping down to run for Mayor, I believe that another voice needs to step forward represent the people of Ward 4, much as Jay has done so well for us over the last 8 years.

Through open lines of communications, I will strive to be a fair, honest representative of our community. I believe in listening and understanding all sides to the issue, then building consensus around a solution.

As part of a constructive problem-solving process, I believe it is vital to be accessible for people to share their thoughts and opinions on topics and issues that affect them in the community. Bringing all parties to the table, we can work together to craft a solution that everyone can be satisfied with.

So, if you have any burning topics on the tip of your tongue, post it to my blog, so that I (or others) can hear what you have to say.

Democracy is about enabling the people. Let your voice be heard.
