Putting Our Community's Priorities into Action

My campaign is a commitment to building on what makes Pepper Pike a truly special place to live. It's about bringing a fresh, problem-solving approach to City Council to ensure our community remains vibrant, connected, and responsibly managed for generations to come.

My platform is built on six key priorities, each focused on creating a stronger Pepper Pike where every resident feels heard, valued, and safe.

Transparent & Accountable Governance

Open Communication: Championing clear, consistent, and proactive communication from City Hall to every resident.

Digital Accessibility: Leveraging technology to make City Council meetings and important civic discussions widely accessible online, empowering more residents to participate and stay engaged from home.

Prudent Decision-Making: Upholding the integrity of our city's governance, ensuring stability, and avoiding unnecessary risks or radical changes without broad community consensus and transparent process.

Exploring Service Enhancements: Evaluating opportunities to enhance city services that improve daily life for residents, such as the feasibility of a leaf pick-up program, based on community need and fiscal responsibility.

Enhanced Connectivity & Walkability

Accelerating Sidewalk Development: Expediting the development of sidewalks and multi-purpose trails, prioritizing safety and resident input in their placement and design.

Strategic Planning: Advocating for thoughtfully planned walkways that link our neighbors to each other and to key destinations, fostering a more active and connected community.

Accessibility for All: Designing our pedestrian infrastructure to be inclusive, benefiting residents of all ages and abilities.

Investing in Families & Community Spaces

Modernizing Community Amenities: Exploring investments in family-friendly amenities such as a community room, splash pad, or other recreational facilities that foster interaction and shared experiences for both young and seasoned families.

Welcoming New Neighbors: Actively developing initiatives and resources to help newcomers feel quickly integrated and comfortable in Pepper Pike, fostering a welcoming and supportive community from day one.

Event & Engagement Initiatives: Encouraging and supporting community events that bring neighbors together.

Promoting our Neighbors: Exploring opportunities to promote and support local, resident-owned businesses and talents, from local storefronts to home-based entrepreneurs.
