Frequently asked
questions.

I'm running because I believe local government works best when residents feel heard, informed, and connected. I want to bring neighbors together, support responsible decision-making, and protect the family-friendly quality of life that makes Lake Forest special.

I'm running to represent Lake Forest City Council District 2. My focus is listening closely to District 2 residents while making decisions that strengthen the entire city.

My priorities include safer and well-maintained neighborhoods, responsible growth, support for local businesses, strong community programs, and a City Hall that communicates clearly and responds to residents.

I support using traffic data, resident feedback, targeted enforcement, safer crosswalks, better signal timing, and appropriate traffic-calming measures. Solutions should address safety without simply shifting traffic into another neighborhood.

Every project should be considered carefully. I want residents involved early and expect development decisions to consider traffic, parking, infrastructure, schools, neighborhood character, and the city's long-term needs.

I support responsive police and emergency services, neighborhood partnerships, pedestrian safety, emergency preparedness, and practical education and enforcement around e-bikes.

Residents can use the neighborhood-priorities poll or campaign form on this website, email me, attend a neighborhood gathering, or speak with me at a community event.

You can volunteer, request a yard sign, host a neighborhood gathering, help with outreach, endorse the campaign, or subscribe to campaign updates.

I am not currently fundraising. If that changes, the campaign will follow all applicable reporting and disclosure requirements.
