As your mayor, I will prioritize:
- Community Engagement:
I am committed to renewed trust, transparency & technical advancement in our City Government. We have a rich history to be honored, but it’s essential to be current and forward-focused in our outlook for the future.
- Infrastructure repair and advancement:
As with most towns our size, repairing and maintaining an aging infrastructure is a top priority. We are fortunate to have grant funding to assist us with the financial responsibility and the knowledgeable manpower to accomplish our goals in this respect. We must plan now for the upgrades and needs for the future.
- Economic & Workforce Development:
I am committed to creating an environment where local businesses & industry can succeed. By supporting entrepreneurship, attracting new investment, and educating students on skilled employment opportunities, we can continue to create jobs and boost our local economy.
- Public Safety and Wellness:
The safety and well-being of our residents will always be a top priority. I support our law enforcement and first responders to ensure that Luverne remains a safe and secure community for everyone. Supporting our local rural hospital and healthcare agencies, as well as workers, is a top concern.
- Youth Programs:
Our children are our future. We must invest in educational opportunities and recreational programs that empower our youth and prepare them for success. Our parks should promote opportunities for our children to learn about respect and leadership in a variety of athletics and organized activities, as well as a safe and pleasing place to play.
- Sustainability:
Protecting our natural resources, maintaining our small town southern charm with planned and controlled growth opportunities, while promoting sustainable practices will help preserve the beauty of Luverne for generations to come.
- Adult Recreation & Entertainment
I want to work towards expansion of leisure opportunities, activities for engagement and exercise. Concerts in the Park might be an example and opportunities for newcomers to meet and connect with locals.
I invite you to join me on this journey as we envision a brighter future for Luverne. Together, we can build a thriving community that reflects our shared values and aspirations. Stay tuned for upcoming events where you can meet me, share your ideas, and get involved in our campaign.
