Why I’m Running

I love this community.

Like so many of you, I’ve chosen to build my life and raise my family here because Afton offers something increasingly rare—a place where neighbors know one another, small businesses are part of the community, and the natural beauty of the St. Croix Valley is woven into everyday life.

Over the past several years, I’ve become deeply involved in our community—not only as a resident, but by attending council and planning meetings, volunteering on city committees, supporting local organizations, and working alongside neighbors who care deeply about Afton’s future.

I believe Afton’s best days are ahead of us.

Those experiences have given me a firsthand understanding of what works well—and where we can do better.

We don’t have to choose between preserving our heritage and embracing the future.

We can do both.

By respecting our residents, supporting local businesses, strengthening families, and building a City Hall that listens first and collaborates openly, we can ensure Afton remains the community we love for generations to come..
