It’s time to bring respect and connection back to public service.

I’m running for Arvada City Council because, quite frankly, I’m disappointed in the division and lack of respect we see in public dialogue today. Too often, conversations focus on blame and party lines instead of people. That’s not how I was raised — and it’s not the example I want to set for my daughter.

I grew up around my grandparents’ kitchen table in a loud, opinionated family. My grandmother was a Democrat and my grandfather a Republican. We passed around religion and politics like mashed potatoes. It wasn’t always easy, but it taught me the value of listening, disagreeing with respect, and remembering that relationships matter more than winning an argument.

Although City Council is nonpartisan, the most common question I get is, “What party are you?” My answer is simple: I’m a Democrat raised by Republicans. I believe Arvada deserves leaders who can hold space for conflicting views and model how to disagree without hostility.

I don’t have a magic wand — I have a compass.

My compass is built on three values that guide how I lead and how I live:

Bravery

Speaking up, even when it’s uncomfortable — guided by values, not ego.

Growth

Listening to understand rather than speaking only to be understood.

Reliability

Showing up, following through, and making space for others.

Through this campaign, I’ve hosted monthly conversations at coffee shops, happy hours, and playgrounds with kids running nearby because connection happens when we gather, listen, and share.

Leadership in Action

As a homeowner, mother, and neighbor, I understand the challenges and opportunities facing Arvada families. My leadership style is grounded in listening, transparency, and follow-through. I’m the kind of person who will sit through a four-hour water treatment meeting so you don’t have to — and then bring the Spark Notes to the community.

Focused on what matters most.

As your councilmember, I’ll prioritize safety and community wellbeing, invest in infrastructure, roads, and paths, and ensure transparency in how City Council serves residents.

Projects will change, opinions will differ, and expectations will evolve — but integrity should never waver.

My promise:
I will stand by my word.
I will lead with honesty.
You can count on me to show up every time.

This campaign is powered by people like you.

 Real representation doesn’t end when the campaign does — it begins at the doors and continues in every conversation.

connection and respect.
