Why I’m running
As more people discover what makes Wyoming special, we have an opportunity to shape that growth in a way that strengthens our community while preserving the qualities that make Cheyenne unique. But growth without planning can strain infrastructure, reduce access to open spaces, and gradually erode the character that draws people here in the first place.
I’m running for Cheyenne City Council Ward 2 because I believe we need leaders who are willing to focus on the long-term future of our city.

I’m running for Cheyenne City Council Ward 2 because I believe we need leaders who are willing to focus on the long-term future of our city.
My Priorities
I want Cheyenne to remain a place where families can thrive, local businesses can succeed, neighborhoods remain connected, and future generations can enjoy the same sense of community that attracted my family here.
Lead By Serving
Good leadership begins with listening. I believe elected officials should be accessible, accountable, and focused on serving residents first.
Preserve Open Space
Growth and preservation are not mutually exclusive. We can welcome new opportunities while protecting the natural spaces that contribute to Cheyenne’s quality of life.
Create a More Livable Community
A thriving city is one where people want to live, work, raise families, and build businesses. Every decision should be guided by how it impacts the daily lives of our residents.
Look Ahead
I love Cheyenne. I believe in its people, its potential, and its future. But we need to be strategic about growth, planning for our children’s and grandchildren’s futures here.
Building a Stronger, More Livable Cheyenne
Cheyenne is at an important moment in its history.
As our community grows, we have an opportunity to invest in projects that improve quality of life, strengthen neighborhoods, and preserve the character that makes Cheyenne unique. We also have an opportunity to ensure residents have a meaningful voice in shaping that future.
My priorities are rooted in thoughtful growth, strong community connections, and long-term planning.
Supporting Community Assets
Some of Cheyenne’s greatest strengths are the places that bring people together.
The Cheyenne Botanic Gardens is one of those places. It serves as a destination, educational resource, gathering space, and year-round community asset that enriches the lives of residents of all ages. Continued support for community spaces like the Gardens helps strengthen the quality of life that attracts families, businesses, and visitors to Cheyenne.
Likewise, our parks, trails, and public spaces contribute to the health, well-being, and vibrancy of our city.
Expanding Connections Through the Greenway
The Greenway system is one of Cheyenne’s most valuable long-term investments.
Expanding and improving trail connectivity creates opportunities for recreation, active transportation, neighborhood connections, and economic development. Greenway investments help make our community more accessible, more active, and more enjoyable for residents of all ages.
As our city grows, I believe we should continue investing in projects that connect neighborhoods and encourage people to experience Cheyenne beyond their car.
Investing in the Reed Avenue Rail Corridor
The Reed Avenue Rail Corridor represents an exciting opportunity to transform underutilized space into a community asset that serves residents for generations.
I have supported this project since its earliest stages because I believe strategic public investments can strengthen neighborhoods, encourage redevelopment, improve connectivity, and create new opportunities for both residents and local businesses.
Projects like this require long-term vision, but they also have the potential to shape how people experience our community for decades to come.
Planning With the Community, Not Just For the Community
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned through my work as a business owner, property owner, board member, and community advocate is that people want to be part of the conversation.
Residents need to be heard before decisions happen
Too often, residents first hear about major projects or decisions after significant planning has already taken place. While public forums and meetings remain important, many community members feel their opportunity to shape the outcome comes too late in the process.
I believe we Can Do Better
Effective community planning begins with listening early, engaging often, and creating meaningful opportunities for residents, property owners, businesses, and stakeholders to provide input before key decisions are made.
We become more effective
When people understand the process and feel heard, we build better projects, stronger partnerships, and greater trust in local government.
As your City Council representative
I will advocate for transparency, accessibility, and community engagement that starts at the beginning—not just at the end—of the planning process.
