Whitefish Bay has a beautiful art deco styled downtown, but many of the shops sit empty, and residents of Whitefish Bay find themselves going elsewhere to find food and drink options.   I want to promote and grow our downtown while giving residents more options to eat, drink, and come together when it is safe to do so.

  The act of updating and maintaining a home in this community should be streamlined. I propose a single stop permitting process which would help ease the difficulty surrounding any large renovation or construction project. 

Whitefish Bay Police do an amazing job keeping our community safe.   I want to work with Chief Michael Young to ensure that the officers that protect and serve the residents of WFB have the training, guidelines, and support to do the job at the highest level.  I also want to review our use-of-force policies, uniforms, implicit bias protocols, and mental health engagement strategies.

Whitefish Bay is not an island.   We are a vital part of the greater metro area and we need to ensure that our village and its residents have access to the people, places, and resources it needs.    

 People want to live in Whitefish Bay, and that is a good thing. However, too many people are priced out of our community. Whitefish Bay does itself a disservice by not adopting a growth mentality. There are opportunities to create more multi-unit housing, mixed-income housing, and accessory dwelling units without disrupting the charm of our village.  

 I want to work with community partners to ensure Whitefish Bay is a place where all people feel welcome.
