Housing is a top priority for me. I recognize the urgency of the issue and I am dedicated to the idea that building more affordable housing only strengthens our community.

​

Housing will help with our workforce crisis, helping to retain and attract families to the area.

 

I am honored to have joined my fellow commissioners in approving well over a thousand units & invested millions into affordable housing.

Roads, sidewalks, bridges, water, and sewer might not seem that exciting, but they are the foundations of our community.

​

We must continue to invest, maintain, and secure our infrastructure.

​

The city has invested in a new Ten Mile water treatment plant, further investing in our public health and water security. 

Helena's small businesses are the heart and soul of our community. Helena's business owners not only employ the majority of our friends and neighbors, they also give back to our town in ways we cannot calculate.

 

I am committed to helping businesses start, operate, and grow in Helena. 

I am committed to keeping Helena a safe community by investing in our Fire Department, Police Department, dispatch, and the relationship between the SROs and Helena's Public Schools. 

​

A safer community is more than just equipment it's also about training, and improving communication and coordination.

​

I am committed to a balanced approach to government, by living within our means, cutting needless regulations and fees, and investing it back into the community when there is a little extra.

 

A prime example is when the city invested its ARPA funding towards affordable housing, a food resource center, and fire education.

Helena's parks and open spaces are not only vital to our quality of life and our work/life balance, but our 40 miles worth of trails, city parks, and civic center bring visitors from all over the world to recreate and enjoy our outdoors, as well as spend money on lodging, dining, and at many of our small businesses.

​

I am committed to protecting access to our public lands and open spaces. 

The city may not build housing, but we can update zoning, remove barriers, and approve developments.

 

We might not feed people, but we can invest in programs and organizations that do just that.

 

The city can do a lot of things, but we can do them better with the help of our strategic partners.
