Candidate for St. Cloud City Council

Our Economy

I firmly believe that the government's role should be that of a facilitator, not an operator, in the economic landscape. The path to a thriving local economy lies not in the expansion of government, but in empowering our small businesses—the true backbone of our community. As a candidate for St. Cloud City Council, I am committed to implementing policies that remove unnecessary bureaucratic hurdles and foster an environment where entrepreneurs are encouraged and supported. By focusing on streamlined regulations, accessible resources, and robust public-private partnerships, we can ensure that small businesses have the tools they need to grow and drive our local economy forward. This approach not only nurtures innovation but also promotes sustainable economic development that benefits everyone in our city.

Safe Neighborhoods

Creating effective public safety strategies is essential for fostering safer neighborhoods and reducing crime. A prime example of such an initiative is the COP House on the South side of St. Cloud. This innovative project serves as a hub for community engagement, providing a space where residents and safety officials can collaborate directly to address local concerns. By focusing on proactive problem-solving and encouraging citizens to take an active role in their community's safety, we can effectively tackle the root causes of crime. The COP House not only deters criminal activity but also builds mutual trust and respect among community members, ensuring that safety efforts are seen as a collaborative endeavor. By empowering local residents and prioritizing their involvement, we strengthen the fabric of our communities, promote public safety, and uphold the principles of order and security that are the cornerstone of a thriving society.

Housing Needs

As our city continues to grow, so too does the demand for housing. As a candidate for St. Cloud City Council, I am dedicated to addressing this critical need through common-sense housing measures that prioritize increasing private residence ownership over renting. My approach includes supporting policies that make homeownership more accessible and affordable for our residents, and encouraging the development of new housing to expand the availability of properties. By incentivizing construction and reducing regulatory barriers for developers, we can ensure a steady increase in housing stock tailored to the needs of our community. These efforts are vital for fostering a stable and prosperous community where every citizen has the opportunity to own a home and invest in their future.
