Priorities
Paradise is a community with a strong history and a changing future. My approach to Town Council starts with listening to residents, understanding the challenges our town faces, and working toward practical solutions.
These are the areas I would focus on if elected.
Transparency & Accountability
Open Communication and Honest Leadership
Residents deserve to know what their local government is doing and why decisions are being made.
For me, transparency means being available, listening to questions, and giving honest answers. It also means admitting when I don’t have an answer, and then working to find one.
I believe public service should be held to an above-reproach standard, while recognizing that none of us is perfect. What matters is taking responsibility, correcting mistakes, and continuing to serve with honesty and respect.
Residents should be able to ask questions and raise concerns without fear of intimidation.
I hold myself to the same standard. You can view my own campaign filings here: Coming shortly.
Healthcare & Essential Services
Bringing Community Ideas to the Table
Access to healthcare and essential services matters to the long-term health of our community.
Several Paradise residents have already come to me with ideas for bringing additional medical services to town. Those ideas deserve a place at the table.
As a Registered Nurse, I understand the challenges people face in accessing care. If elected, I want to hit the ground running by connecting residents with healthcare professionals and exploring practical ways to strengthen healthcare services in Paradise.
Listening to Residents & Moving Forward
Your Voice Before the Vote
Good decisions start with listening, and listening has to happen before decisions are made, not after.
That’s why I started Let’s Talk About Paradise, a resident discussion held before Town Council meetings. We review upcoming agenda items, ask questions, and share perspectives, so more people understand what’s being decided and have a chance to weigh in.
Paradise has been through more than most towns ever will. We’ve rebuilt homes, businesses, and lives. Now it’s time to focus on where we go from here, together.
A more informed community makes a stronger Paradise.
Upcoming Let’s Talk Meeting tentaivley scheduled October 12 at 6 PM.
Economic Opportunity
Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Businesses
Paradise needs opportunities for people who want to work, build businesses, and put down roots here.
I want Paradise to be a welcoming place for businesses that bring higher-paying jobs and meaningful economic opportunity to our community. That means listening to business owners, identifying barriers, and finding practical ways the Town can encourage responsible investment.
Economic development should be about more than adding businesses. It should create opportunities that help local families build stable lives here.
Responsible Growth
Shaping the Future Together
Paradise is changing, and growth should be approached thoughtfully, with careful consideration for infrastructure, services, housing, businesses, and the character of our community.
We don’t have to choose between honoring Paradise’s history and making room for its future.
Community & Quality of Life
Bridging the Gap Between Generations
Paradise is home to longtime residents who have shaped this town for decades, and to younger families who are choosing to make it home. These groups have more in common than we sometimes recognize.
We can preserve the traditions, relationships, and character that make Paradise special while creating a community where younger families can grow and thrive.
We don’t need to choose between longtime residents and new families. We need to connect them.
Wildfire Safety & Insurance
Keeping Paradise Livable
Wildfire risk and the rising cost of insurance affect nearly every household in Paradise. I’ve attended several of the Town’s Insurance Committee meetings to better understand what residents are facing, and I want to keep learning and keep residents informed about what the Town is doing.
Have an Idea for Paradise?
These priorities will keep growing as I hear from more of you. If there’s an issue that matters to you, I want to hear about it.
Our roots connect us to our past. Our children connect us to our future.
