Issues and Priorities

 Our roads, sidewalks, and bike paths are the arteries of our community. They connect families, support local businesses, and keep daily life moving. I understand how frustrating it can be to sit in traffic at a congested intersection or worry about safety while walking or biking with your kids.

I will advocate for smart, forward-thinking investments in local roads, sidewalks, bike trails, pedestrian crossings, and public transportation that meet today’s needs and plan for tomorrow’s growth. 

Reliable infrastructure is about more than convenience. It is about safety, accessibility, and making sure Lake County works better for families, businesses, and commuters alike.

 Lake County is growing, and that growth should strengthen our communities and improve quality of life for the people who live here. I believe development should serve residents first, not just developers.

I will advocate for responsible, long-term planning that protects our infrastructure and safeguards our natural environment. I also support fair impact fee policies that ensure new developments contribute their fair share toward the public services they rely on.

Growth can be a good thing when it is done thoughtfully. My goal is to make sure we plan ahead, protect what makes Lake County special, and preserve the character and sense of community that make this such a great place to live.

 Education is the foundation of a strong community. As a longtime school board member and a parent of four, I have seen how much our schools mean to families and how important it is to keep them well-supported and accountable.

I will continue to advocate for fair funding, safe and modern facilities, and strong partnerships between the County Board, local school districts, and families. Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, and that starts with schools that have the resources they need and communities that stand behind them. 

Supporting education also means supporting families. I believe in building connections that help parents access information, resources, and services that make life easier and help children thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Our lakes, forest preserves, and open spaces are some of Lake County’s greatest treasures. They bring people together, protect wildlife, and give us all a place to breathe, recharge, and connect with nature.

I will prioritize policies that protect clean water, prevent flooding, and preserve our natural beauty for future generations.  I have seen firsthand how much can be accomplished when residents, experts, and local agencies come together to care for our environment. 

I believe that environmental stewardship and community well-being go hand in hand. Protecting the land and water we share is not just about conservation. It is about protecting our quality of life and ensuring that Lake County remains a healthy, beautiful place to live.

Taxpayers deserve to know exactly how their money is being spent and to trust that every dollar is used responsibly. County government should operate efficiently, transparently, and with clear accountability for results.

I will work to keep budgets open and accessible, ensure funding decisions are data-driven, and focus on practical solutions that deliver real value to residents. Fiscal responsibility is not just about saving money. It is about using resources wisely so that we can invest in the programs, infrastructure, and services that truly strengthen Lake County.

 I believe in listening, collaboration, and common-sense solutions. Politics should never get in the way of doing what is right for the people we serve.

I am running to make sure the voices and values of District 10 residents are represented at the county level. My focus will always remain on what is best for our residents, our families, and the community I am proud to call home.

For me, leadership is about building trust, finding common ground, and taking action that improves people’s lives. When we put people before politics, we create a stronger, more united Lake County.
