To lead is to listen, and your voice deserves to be heard. I am running for Wayne Township because people in our community have told me that when they ask for help, they often feel unheard or overlooked.
I want to be accessible and responsive so the people who make Warsaw and Winona Lake such great places to live know they have leaders who will listen, show up, and follow through.
My Commitment to Transparency and Accessibility:
Currently, Warsaw and Winona Lake residents have been frustrated by the meeting and business hours of our Township Department. My plan is to:
Expand office hours and adjust meeting schedules to better accommodate working families and community members.
Publish easy-to-find and detailed meeting notes following every session to keep the community fully informed on the township decisions being made with our tax dollars.
Invite local media to attend proceedings to ensure complete transparency and accountability in our governance.
Responsible Stewardship
Every tax dollar should be treated with care. I'll ensure your tax dollars are spent best by:
Prioritizing practical investments that yield long-term savings for our community.
Increasing transparency regarding all township expenditures to ensure accountability.
Focusing on proactive maintenance and strategic planning to prevent costly emergency repairs.
Making data-driven decisions based on facts rather than partisan politics.
Supporting Our Neighbors in Need
The township board exists to serve as a vital resource for neighbors navigating difficult times. My commitment is to ensure that every member of our community receives the support they deserve through:
Increased Awareness: Proactively ensuring residents are fully informed about available assistance programs.
Resource Connectivity: Providing direct pathways to food, housing, utility, and emergency support services.
Collaborative Outreach: Partnering with local nonprofits, churches, and community organizations to bridge service gaps and maximize our impact.
Compassionate Service: Treating every resident with the dignity, respect, and care they deserve.
