Common-Sense Leadership for Cross Plains
Overview
Protect What We Love. Plan Wisely for What's Ahead
Cross Plains is a special place to live, raise a family, work, and build a business. I am running for City Commissioner because I want to help preserve what makes our community special while making thoughtful, responsible decisions about its future.
Priority Issues
Cross Plains is growing. Our city needs thoughtful leadership that plans ahead, protects what makes our community special, and puts local residents first.
01
Responsible Growth
Cross Plains will continue to grow. I support thoughtful development that respects our community's character and considers traffic, infrastructure, and the people who already call Cross Plains home.
02
Fiscal Responsibility
Taxpayer money should be treated carefully. I will support responsible budgeting, transparency, long-term planning, and careful evaluation of major expenditures.
03
Public Safety
My background in law enforcement and the justice system gives me a deep appreciation for our first responders. They deserve the resources and support necessary to keep Cross Plains safe.
04
Infrastructure & Planning
Growth puts pressure on roads, utilities, and public services. We need to plan ahead and consider infrastructure capacity and long-term costs when making development decisions.

- Law Enforcement - Former police officer with firsthand knowledge of public safety.
- Justice System - Former prosecutor and longtime criminal defense attorney with decades of courtroom experience.
- Public Service - Part-time Night Court Judicial Magistrate since 2023.
