It's Election Day!

Deliberate choices for infrastructure investments and pavement management to shape the Bellevue community. 

Create and expand parks, walkways, and trails, to enhance the quality of life of Bellevue residents. 

Enhance digital strategies to safeguard continuity during increased volumes or in times of crisis. 

I am running for a third two-year term to continue serving as a choice for voters and to help guide policy decisions with Bellevue’s long-term interests in mind. 

Over the past four years as a Trustee, I have worked on long-range planning, infrastructure funding, roads and traffic safety, stormwater improvements, parks, housing options, zoning updates, and budget decisions. 

I want to continue that work with a focus on steady, thoughtful progress.

Local government works best through relationships, collaboration, and compromise. 

People who may disagree on national issues often find common ground on local ones. I work to keep trust in local government strong because trust makes problem-solving possible.

I focus on clear communication. Through this website I share neutral, factual information about Bellevue village issues, so residents understand what the board is working on and why decisions are made. 

When residents are informed, engagement improves and the work of the board becomes more effective.

Make deliberate infrastructure investments, especially in pavement management. 

In 2025, Bellevue used Hot In-Place Recycling for road resurfacing projects, saving about 50 to 60 percent compared to traditional methods. Those savings allow us to stretch tax dollars further and resurface more streets without increasing the budget. 

I would like to build on this approach and work toward increasing resurfacing from roughly 3 - 4 miles per cycle to closer to 6 - 8 miles, while continuing to delay costly full road reconstructions when possible.

Housing opportunities should support a family through all stages of life and reflect how people live today.  

Households are smaller, people are marrying later, more adults live alone, and many seniors want to downsize while staying in the community. Younger workers are looking for attainable homes near where they work. 

Bellevue needs more right-sized housing, including modest single-family homes, duplexes, townhomes, and small apartment buildings that fit existing neighborhoods. 

In 2025, the Village Board approved zoning updates that created new residential districts, including R1-75, R1-60, and a Residential Missing Middle district. These changes are an important step toward meeting that need.

Revenue limits mean we must be disciplined about how we grow and how we spend. The goal is not to simply expand services or cut them, but to make smarter choices that deliver long-term value. 

I prioritize maintaining what we already have, including streets, utilities, parks, and public safety, because deferred maintenance is the most expensive option. 

When growth is proposed, I look at whether it will generate enough long-term revenue to cover the infrastructure and services it requires.  I support cost-saving practices that help stretch tax dollars further. 

Thoughtful planning, not service cuts, is how we stay within revenue limits while meeting community needs.

Bellevue offers the goods, services, and jobs that support residents through every stage of life. 

It is a community where green spaces, neighborhoods, and local businesses support growth and daily life. 

I will serve the community with your shared perspective as a resident, taxpayer, and property owner.

I will focus to advance the collective decision-making body of the village board and empower village staff to execute the vision.

I will embrace holding a public office as an act of service to all Bellevue residents. 

Financial security is a major goal in life. 

Discussions centered on taxes brings uncertainty on the impacts to home, debt, living, and family expenses. 

My conversation is centered on value; value to residential services, value to supporting infrastructure, and value towards building a Bellevue community for future generations.

No. The village board roles are non-partisan; without party affiliation. A candidate may choose to seek out a political party for support in gaining the role.

No. A candidate may choose to seek, or accept, financial support in gaining the role.

In the Trustee role, I represent residents as shareholders in this municipal Bellevue corporation of 'us'.  I am an independent thinker, who is analytical and witty. I approach crucial decisions by living in the facts. I call myself a facilitator and an influencer. I worked in the legal & compliance field of qualified retirement plans. I value safety and security.
