I am:
-
Pro Families
Continue to advocate for low density zoning in underdeveloped areas. Slow growth prevents overcrowding of schools and roads and protects our water supply. Clean parks and green spaces allow families of all kinds to flourish.
-
Pro Jobs
Increase employment opportunities by supporting the sports and entertainment district coming soon to the heart of Blaine. This exciting destination will include restaurants, hotels and entertainment for all residents to enjoy.
-
Pro Law Enforcement
Safety remains a top priority as crime rates decrease in Blaine for the second year in a row! As a family member to law enforcement officers, I fully support and respect our Blaine Police Department, including the resource officers in our schools.
"Let's ensure Blaine remains a great place to raise a family"

ABOUT ME
Putting My Experience
to Work
I'm a Blaine resident with my husband of 16 years and and our 5 children. Most days, we're at the National Sports Center soccer complex /Schwann's Super rink. We moved here in 2008 because Blaine is a wonderful place to raise a family. While living here, our family has grown and so has the city. It is an exciting time to be a resident of Blaine as we continue to grow. Lets keep family and community at the heart of Blaine's vision.
