Why I am running Dickinson City Council

Public safety and infrastructure are the foundation of a thriving community. Dickinson must prioritize police recruitment and retention by ensuring competitive pay and benefits and securing funding for a new police station to serve residents better. Investing in road repairs is equally essential, focusing on fixing high-traffic and deteriorated streets efficiently—using asphalt for quick fixes and concrete for durability where needed. Additionally, drainage improvements must remain a top priority, and I will work to secure state and federal grants to fund projects that reduce flooding and protect homes. By listening to experts and focusing on long-term solutions, we can build a safer and more resilient Dickinson.

A strong local economy means more jobs, lower taxes, and better city services. I fully support the Water Street Project because it will bring hotels, businesses, and revenue-generating development that strengthens our tax base. Supporting small businesses is also key to long-term economic success, and I will meet directly with business owners to ensure city policies help them grow, not hold them back. While 380 Agreements have been used to attract businesses, we must also develop traditional revenue sources—like sales tax growth and business incentives—to ensure the city remains financially stable, even if the state legislature ends 380 Agreements. A thriving business community means lower homeowner taxes and a stronger Dickinson for everyone. 

Dickinson deserves leadership that listens, acts, and delivers real results. I am running to bring a fresh perspective, free from political drama, because we don’t have time for distractions when real issues need to be addressed. Fiscal responsibility is essential, and I will ensure taxpayer dollars are spent wisely by focusing on long-term planning and economic stability. I am also committed to keeping Dickinson a no-kill community, supporting our local animal shelter to provide care for animals in need. As a mother, veteran, student, and community leader, I understand the importance of making decisions that benefit families, businesses, and future generations. Dickinson needs action, not division, and I’m ready to lead with integrity and results.
