Why I’m Running

Millcreek isn’t just where I live - it’s my home, and I’m committed to making it a place where families can thrive for generations to come. Since being elected to the City Council, I’ve focused on creating a stronger, more connected community by expanding open space, improving infrastructure, and ensuring responsible growth that prioritizes homeownership. I believe Millcreek should be a city where people can own a home and build equity, not just pay rent, and I’ve worked hard to make that vision a reality.

Over the past three years, I’ve helped secure funding for vital projects, including $6.5 million for Millcreek Common Phase II, expanded park space, and road improvements that have made our neighborhoods safer and more walkable. Public safety has also been a priority - ensuring our emergency preparedness infrastructure is stronger than ever and that our city services work efficiently for residents.

I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together, but there’s still more work to do. I’m running for re-election to keep Millcreek a great place to call home.

Since taking office, I’ve been committed to making Millcreek a better place to live, work, and play. Here’s what we’ve accomplished together:

Housing & Development – Prioritized owner-occupied housing to ensure Millcreek remains a place where families can build equity and put down roots.
Parks & Open Space – Helped secure funding for major improvements, including $6.5 million in grants for Millcreek Common Phase II and additional resources for green spaces.
Scott Park – Got funding for a new parking lot, working on getting new curb and gutter to facilitate easier access. Worked with resident to get new safety measures for crossing 900 E to access Scott Park (planned installation mid 2025)
Road & Drainage Improvements – Oversaw the treatment of over 2 million square feet of roadway and nearly 10,000 feet of drainage upgrades to prevent flooding and improve road safety.
Public Works Expansion – Supported grants that funded $12.5 million in capital improvement projects, including enhanced stormwater infrastructure.
Walkability & Mobility – Integrated community feedback into sidewalk and trails planning, making Millcreek a more pedestrian-friendly city.
Emergency Response Upgrades – Helped develop a state-of-the-art Emergency Operations Center and secured grants to expand disaster preparedness training.
Public Safety Investments – Strengthened partnerships with hospitals and emergency responders, ensuring a more resilient community.
Small Business Support – Licensed over 300 new businesses and expanded business education programs to help local entrepreneurs thrive.
Cultural & Recreational Growth – Led efforts that brought in over $600,000 in revenue from community events, including Millcreek Farmers Market, movie nights, and cultural festivals.
Increased Access to Services – Hosted large-scale resource fairs, digital literacy classes, and career development workshops for residents.
