Practical Leadership for District 1
I’ve called Independence home for more than 38 years. I’ve raised a family here, built lasting relationships here, and watched our city grow and change. That long view shapes how I approach leadership — with care, perspective, and a commitment to getting decisions right.
My decision to run for City Council comes from a simple belief: local government should be steady, transparent, and accountable to the people it serves. Currently serving in my second term as an elected Committeewoman, I continue to serve Independence by working to strengthen transparency, encourage accountability, and build trust through preparation, respect, and consistent follow-through.
I take the time to read the details, understand the process, and listen before making decisions — because local leadership affects real families and real lives.

How I Approach Leadership
Before I make a decision, I ask questions. I review the numbers. I study the long-term impact. I believe local government works best when leaders slow down enough to understand the details and move forward with clarity.
I’ve spent years paying attention to how systems operate — how budgets are structured, how policies are implemented, and how decisions ripple through neighborhoods. That experience has taught me that good governance isn’t dramatic. It’s disciplined.
I value respectful dialogue, careful preparation, and follow-through. Because when leaders are consistent and informed, the community benefits.

Rooted in District 1
Independence isn’t just where I live — it’s where I’ve invested decades of my life. I understand the character of our neighborhoods, the challenges we face, and the pride residents take in this community.
District 1 deserves leadership that pays attention to the details and respects the people who call it home. I’m committed to showing up, listening carefully, and doing the work that keeps our city strong.

Why I’m Running
Over the past several years, I’ve spent time studying our city’s budgets, long-term obligations, development agreements, and governance structure. The deeper I looked, the clearer it became: local government decisions carry long-term consequences — and they deserve careful review.
I believe Independence needs leadership that reads the details, understands the financial commitments, and asks the hard questions before votes are cast.
I’m running for City Council because I believe oversight is not optional. It should be standard. When the process is disciplined and transparent, trust follows — and our city is stronger for it.
