LEADERSHIP BEYOND CITY HALL

A LETTER TO VOTERS
GROVELAND HAS MOMENTUM. NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO STOP.
Groveland is at a crucial pivot—and I believe we are closer than ever to realizing the greatness of the community we have worked so hard to build. Over the past six years, I have not simply talked about what Groveland needs; I have shown up, asked the hard questions, cast the votes, worked through the details, and helped move the City forward.
​
I have been deeply engaged in the work of governing, including responsible budgeting, infrastructure, public safety, economic development, and protecting the quality of life of our residents. My 35+ years of both federal and public-sector experience has taught me how to navigate complex government systems, build partnerships, and turn resources and policy into results.
​
I sincerely love my District constituents. As much as I desire, I have not always had the time to socialize—and that's because I have been busy doing the work. I respect anyone willing to serve, but at this pivotal moment, Groveland cannot afford to lose momentum while a new council member learns the systems, processes, relationships, and responsibilities of City government.
​
Our residents deserve leadership that is ready on Day One.
​I don't just speak words. I deliver action—and I am ready to continue delivering for Groveland.
