Balancing Priorities for a Thriving Cross Plains
As a new member of the Cross Plains Village Board Finance Committee, my goal is to ensure that every resident feels heard, valued, and included in shaping the future of our community. Cross Plains is a vibrant and diverse village with many competing priorities, and I believe that transparency and collaboration are the cornerstones of good governance.
I built this site is your gateway to understanding my vision for the key areas that affect all of us—from economic development and public safety to sustainability, infrastructure, and community well-being. Each policy is accompanied by specific metrics, so you can track progress and hold me accountable.
While we may not always agree on every decision, I’m committed to ensuring that you understand why a decision was made and that your voice is part of the process. When we work together, even in disagreement, we give ourselves the best chance to support one another and move forward as a stronger community.
I chose “Glacial Force” as the domain as I think it represents the way to drive change within a community - slow, steady pressure that accomplishes its goals over a long timeline. It also connects to our geological history a part of the driftless region of Wisconsin.
Explore the links below to dive into my policies and metrics, and please share your feedback. Let’s make Cross Plains a place where everyone can thrive—together.
