Madison has launched important multi-year projects and initiatives. I want to use my experience to sustain their momentum.
As your alder, I’ve worked to ensure responsible financial management while protecting essential city services. My commitment to fiscal responsibility is demonstrated through concrete actions and clear plans for the future.
I played a key role in developing Madison’s groundbreaking five-year operating budget plan, approved in November 2024.
