Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 word limit)

Outside of 6 years, I am a lifelong Loveland Resident. I grew up in Loveland. I want to keep that flavor and feel while moving Loveland forward, making Loveland a STRONGER and BETTER CITY.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

As one of the 7 councilmembers, 1)re-examining the contractual agreement with MSD, making sure that Loveland residents receive the best bang for their buck when it comes to water and sewer service; 2)Bringing the Loveland Madeira Road business district alive with redevelopment, with the goal of lowering property taxes with strengthening the Business zones; and 3) by looking out for the frivolous spending (which we have greatly reduced over the past 4 years)

3. State three actions that you recommend to promote regional cooperation, and explain how you would implement each action? (150 word limit)

I would encourage communication. We're neighbors. We eat, drink and shop at the same places. There's no need for being negative and argumentative. We all have a common goal: Enjoying the community that we live in.

I would encourage group purchases of everyday common items each community needs, such as salt, electric, paving, vehicles and infrastructure needs.

I would encourage listening and then following through with goals set forth by committees and the legislative bodies, like city council.
