I am seeking re-election as Grand Traverse County Commissioner for District 7, which includes Old Mission Peninsula and northeastern part of Traverse City, including the neighborhoods around the academic campuses (Eastern Elementary, Central High School (go, Trojans!), and NMC), surrounding the Civic Center, Bryant Park, Jupiter Park, and F&M Park.
After serving most of a term already, I understand the depth of opportunity to improve how the county provides services to our community. We have an obligation to address the critical needs in our community, which include housing and homelessness, childcare to support working families, protecting water quality, reducing our fossil footprints individually and collectively, ensuring resilience in a changing climate, and much more.
I have demonstrated reasonableness, pragmatism, and bipartisan effectiveness on the commission. I intend to continue working collaboratively on our crucial community issues while reflecting our core values of transparency, accountability, and respectful civility.
Thank you for your support and for sharing my optimism for a better county commission for Grand Traverse County.
