What I Stand For

My priorities are shaped by lived experience, community conversations, and a clear belief that county government should work for everyday people — not create unnecessary barriers.

These four priorities guide every decision I will make as Dane County Supervisor for District 12.

How I Govern

I govern in a way that is inclusive, communicative, and grounded in understanding. I ask questions so I can lead effectively alongside the people I support, work with, and build with.

My approach balances accomplishing the task at hand with teaching, training, and strengthening systems along the way. I lead with compassion and humanity — whether working with children, teenagers, adults, or seniors — adapting to the needs of the people being served while remaining accountable to outcomes.

I govern from a people-centered perspective, always asking: If this were me or my loved ones, how would I want this handled? That question guides how I communicate, decide, and lead.

Families First

Families are the foundation of strong communities. County systems should support parents, caregivers, seniors, and young people — not overwhelm them with complexity.

As Supervisor, I will prioritize:

• County services that are easier to navigate

• Policies that support housing stability and family well-being

• Coordination across departments so families aren’t forced to repeat their story at every door

When families are supported, communities thrive.

Health, Safety & Stability — With Accountability

Public health and safety investments must be paired with clear goals, transparency, and follow-through.

I support:

• Evidence-based approaches to health and safety

• Clear reporting on outcomes and costs

• Oversight that ensures programs deliver real results

Accountability builds trust — and trust makes communities safer and healthier.

Responsible, Transparent Budgeting

Every dollar in the county budget represents public trust.

I will advocate for:

• Budget transparency before major votes

• Clear explanations of priorities and trade-offs

• Prevention-focused investments that reduce long-term costs

Residents deserve to know how decisions are made — not just what was decided.

Leadership That Listens & Delivers

Leadership is not about titles — it’s about presence and follow-through.

I will:

• Show up in neighborhoods and community spaces

• Listen before deciding

• Communicate clearly and consistently

• Measure success by outcomes, not headlines

Leadership should feel accessible, responsive, and accountable.
