Providing strong and steady leadership through times of crisis.
Everything that comes before a City Council is important. I will always vote according to what I believe is in the best interest of ALL Oakdale residents!
With the spread of Covid-19, local businesses and residents alike are facing significant challenges. I have and will continue to support any initiative that decreases the financial burden on our residents and businesses in Oakdale.
The Gold Line Bus Rapid Transit project continues to move forward. This will benefit Oakdale as it will provide us with a Helmo to Bielenberg bridge and a huge development opportunity in the Helmo/4th St. area.
Over the next few years, it is necessary to replace our Public Works facilities and revamp our Police facilities. The Public Works facility has reached the end of its useful life, and our Police Department has outgrown its current facilities. I am committed to moving forward with these projects with a focus on minimum financial impact to the residents of Oakdale.
I believe our Police and Fire departments are our most valuable assets. Over my tenure as a City Council member, crime rates have remained steady. (SOURCE: Part 1 and Part 2 Offense Report 15-Year Comparison - Oakdale Police department) I will continue to advocate for and offer very strong support for our law enforcement and fire officials. I will continue to do my part to make sure our Police and Fire have the resources necessary to effectively keep our community safe. I WILL advocate for police accountability, and I will NOT support any motion to "Defund the Police."
The MPPOA has been in existence since 1922 and represents 10,400 public safety professionals across the State of Minnesota and over 2,000 retired members.
The SPACC PAC is designed to identify, endorse, and support state and local candidates for office across the East Metro that support pro-business public policies. In addition, SPACC PAC gives members of the business community access to and the ability to learn about candidates for city, county, and state offices.
I'd be happy to answer your questions, discuss issues, or set up a meeting with you!
