Issues of Focus

Nothing is more important than feeling safe in your own home, your neighborhood, and your community. I will always stand with our police, firefighters, and first responders to ensure they have the support and resources they need to protect Dubuque families.

Eagle Point Park holds a special place in the heart of our community — it’s where families gather, memories are made, and nature is celebrated. I’m committed to protecting and enhancing this incredible space so it can continue inspiring pride and connection for generations to come.

Creating good jobs and supporting a strong local economy is critical to keeping Dubuque vibrant and growing. I want to make sure our city is a place where businesses can thrive, young people can stay, and families can build their futures.

Everyone deserves the chance to live in a safe, stable home they can afford. I’m committed to supporting policies that make housing more accessible, because strong neighborhoods start with strong foundations.

Too often, good ideas get stuck in red tape. I want to build a culture that says "yes" to innovation, smart growth, and community-driven solutions.

A growing, thriving Dubuque means more opportunity for everyone. I believe we must focus on attracting new residents and keeping our young people here to ensure a strong future for generations to come.

If we want a growing and vibrant economy, we need a new standard—one where leaders welcome input every step of the way, and hear from experts, not just those who support a predetermined narrative.
