Other candidates in this race: |
| Office: | White Bear Lake Ward 1 City Council member | |
| Incumbent: | No | |
| City of residence: | White Bear Lake | |
| Age: | 55 | |
| Background: | I am founder/owner of Exteriors Landscaping, a local business providing a service for more than 20 years. Elected trustee for Forest Lawn Memorial Park for 17 years. I am an activity director at the Lodge at White Bear. I’m also a proud member of the Ladies Auxiliary VFW Post 1872. | |
| Endorsements: | Not seeking endorsements. | |
| Most important issue: | I plan on being the “Voice of the Voters” and hold monthly listening meetings and being responsive to my constituents’ needs. This is an elected position and you need to represent your voters’ issues. I support no condos and advocate public usage in the development of the Boat Works property. I will work to keep our (the voters’) unique resource of White Bear Lake natural and an asset to the community. The Capitol Project Fund, funded by our tax dollars, has an excess of $28 million. Voters, we need and must maintain a “reasonable” nest egg, however, using part of this fund can expedite improvements. |
