"For the past four years, I’ve worked to make St. Louis Park a great place to live — with more housing options, wiser climate choices, and a local government that is responsive to the community. Together, we’ve made progress.

But our work isn’t finished. That’s why I’m running for re-election — to keep Ward 3 welcoming, affordable, and thriving for everyone who calls it home."

For a Strong St. Louis Park

"St. Louis Park is built on the strength of its people—neighbors who care for one another, families who put down roots here, and community members who give their time and energy to make this city better every day.

As your Ward 3 Councilmember, I've had the privilege of meeting so many residents with inspiring stories and hopes for the future. Their determination and love for this city is what drives me to keep serving.

I believe local government is where democracy is lived out most directly — in our neighborhoods, at City Hall, and in the everyday decisions that shape our future.

We must continue striving to build a community grounded in the dignity of people and their livelihoods.

I'm proud to be running for re-election — to continue fighting for our neighborhoods, our democracy, and our future."
