Why I'm running

As cliche as it may sound, I like helping people. I welcome opportunities to serve others and my community.

I am a pragmatic optimist. I like finding solutions. I believe that when we come together we can accomplish amazing things. I like bringing people together to rally around a common cause.

I believe everyone deserves a place at the table. Variety adds beauty and depth to life. I value seeking out people to bring them in, particularly those who feel like they are on the fringes. I love to listen and to learn from others.

I believe that people closest to a situation know the situation best. Lindon residents are the top of our city's organizational chart. Public officials answer to them. I am running for city council to honor that hierarchy. The wellbeing of Lindon residents is my top priority.

Utah is growing rapidly. Lindon handles development in a unique way, keeping our "little bit of country." I honor that tradition and approach. I think any development should be responsive to local residents' needs. We should be prudent with our land while we explore growth opportunities that will be the best fit for our "little bit of country".

I am deeply devoted to Lindon and its residents. I have strong ties with our community. I also come with a breadth of experience having lived in radically different places. I will bring the best of those experience to my work on the city council.

Serving in the city council would provide me an opportunity to use my professional skills to benefit the community.
