My Top Priorities

Bringing real investment and development to the west side of Beloit, so residents have more places to shop, work, and gather, and local businesses and new ones have the support they need to grow. As a west side resident, I’d encourage the city to think creatively. Let’s look at how neighboring cities have used TIF districts to successfully rebuild neglected parts of their communities, and see what we can learn from them.

Making the city’s community conversations and public input meetings easy to attend, at times that work for everyone, including evenings. I’ll share decisions and the reasons behind them in plain language, so every resident knows what’s happening in Beloit and has a real chance to be heard. I’ll push for more ways to partner with community members from all walks of life, so city news and information reaches every corner of Beloit. Everyone should have a chance to engage with the people making decisions that affect our lives.

Partnering with our schools in ways that make a real difference for students and families. That means working with the school district on shared goals, like safe after-school programs, job and career pathways with city government for young people , and stronger connections between the city, local employers, and our classrooms, so every student has the support they need to succeed.
