It’s been an honor to serve on the Edina City Council for the past four years. I’m proud of the investments that our Council has made in regional and neighborhood parks and civic buildings like the new fire station.

Moving forward, I’ll continue to apply our community values of stewardship, equity, health and sustainability with every decision. My priorities remain focused on infrastructure that supports climate mitigation, expansion of multi-modal bike and pedestrian transportation, and public safety – elements that bring neighbors together to build a stronger more cohesive community. 

Together, we can ensure a bright future for our City.
