Shoreline is a fabulous place to live, and I want to keep it that way. I care about our city’s future. After living and raising my children in the public schools and volunteering in this community for the last 20 years I discovered I care just as much for our city as I do for our schools. We are a relatively young city, and the potential for greatness is evident all around us. We have tremendous natural beauty and the city council in the last 10 years has done a great job building, investing, and enhancing that potential. I want to continue in this positive direction.
My first exposure to city politics was 7 years ago. when I was appointed to the initial Aurora Corridor Task Force. Seven years ago, Aurora was on a path of destruction. It was dilapidated, sometimes dangerous and at the very best, extremely unattractive! Something needed to be done and I’m proud to say that our committee helped the city council develop a vision for Aurora: our economic bloodstream. Just a few weeks ago, we had the groundbreaking ceremony for the first phase from 145th to 165th which will enhance safety and beautify the street, which will in turn attract more business and benefit old business. I envision theatres, restaurants, and top-end grocery stores next to smaller convenience stores stretching from the new Walgreen’s on 145th to Aurora Village on 205th. Aurora will be drivable; Aurora will be walkable! It’s a win/win proposition for businesses and citizens alike. I’m happy to have been a part of it and when elected will help make the final phases reality.
Improving Aurora is just one of my goals. I want to strengthen our neighborhoods. I want quality parks and open spaces for our children to play in and a space where all ages can gather for enjoyment. I envision an open space in each neighborhood where people can walk their dogs, talk with their neighbors and enjoy a sense of “community.” While short term needs are always important, I also care about the long-term condition and vision for our city.
I care about the future of Shoreline. I want it to continue to be a fabulous place for all of us to work, play, raise our families and retire. I have no doubt that I am capable and competent and will do a great job! |
