An elected official on the Yavapai town council plays a crucial role in local governance. They represent community interests, making decisions on policies, budgets, and development projects. Their responsibilities include attending meetings, voting on ordinances, and collaborating with other council members to address issues such as public safety, infrastructure, and community services. They also engage with residents to understand their concerns and advocate for their needs. Essentially, they serve as a bridge between the town's citizens and the municipal government, ensuring that local governance is transparent, responsive, and accountable.

Yes, I have served in an elected office before. In my hometown of Toronto, Washington, I spent six years on the school board, where I developed a passion for local governance and community service. I hope to bring that experience and dedication to Yavapai County.

I serve on the boards of the Yavapai Tourism Advocacy Group, the Commission of Youth Education, and the County's Public Safety Board. I have been an active member of all three since 2015.

After visiting family in Northern Arizona, my husband and I relocated to Prescott in 2015, where we raised our two children.

As a member of the Yavapai town council, my term will focus on maintaining a balanced budget, identifying new revenue sources, and advocating for enhanced public safety. By ensuring fiscal responsibility, we can sustain essential services and invest in our community's future. Exploring innovative revenue-generating opportunities will help fund critical projects without overburdening taxpayers. Simultaneously, prioritizing public safety will foster a secure and thriving environment for all residents.

I decided to run for Yavapai Town Council because I want to actively contribute to shaping the future of our community, where my husband and I are raising our children. It's crucial for me to protect and nurture the home we've come to love. By being part of the council, I aim to ensure that Yavapai remains a vibrant, safe, and thriving place for all residents.

Earning my master's degree in political science from ASU while expecting my first child is an achievement I cherish the most. Juggling studies and pregnancy as a newlywed presented challenges, but with my husband's encouragement, this period in my life revealed my ability to achieve anything. My goal is to motivate and support mothers returning to education, demonstrating that it's never too late to pursue your dreams.

I am deeply passionate about ensuring adequate public safety staffing to protect and serve our community effectively. I also prioritize the health and wellness of our community, advocating for accessible healthcare and wellness programs to enhance quality of life. Additionally, I am committed to preserving our way of life through thoughtful public policy, promoting sustainable development, and safeguarding our cultural and environmental heritage for future generations.

If I could change one thing, it would be to secure additional sources of revenue to alleviate expenses for the general public. This would enable the city to fund more programs, enhance public safety, and expand attractions for both residents and visitors. By diversifying income streams, we can create a more vibrant and thriving community, benefiting everyone.
