“I can’t say how honored and privileged I am to have served the citizens and community of Clear Lake since 2010! I chose to move back to North Iowa in 2007 and specifically chose Clear Lake as I saw it was the best place to live, work and raise a family in all of north central Iowa. To this day, I couldn’t agree more. We continue to lead the path in job growth, amenities, public safety, and quality of life.
“My passion for Clear Lake since I was first elected has not faltered, but has actually grown stronger. I want to continue the legacy we have set and keep placing Clear Lake in the path of success and positive movement. This community has supported me in so many ways and I want to return the favor by asking the citizen’s to allow me to run again for the Ward 2 council seat. We have many opportunities ahead of us and I know I have the experience, time and dedication to identify the ways our city government can continue to succeed. “
