Championing Sustainable Environmental Practices

In Grand Traverse County, our natural landscapes are more than just scenic views; they're vital ecosystems that deserve protection and care. As a candidate for County Commissioner, I am deeply committed to preserving our county's natural beauty while promoting sustainable environmental management practices.

Working closely with local partners like Cherryland Electrical Cooperative and Long Lake Township, I will prioritize conservation efforts to safeguard our cherished lakes, including the larger Long Lake and Bass Lake. Together, we'll address critical issues like the spread of invasive species such as Eurasian milfoil, ensuring the long-term health of our waterways.

But our commitment to environmental stewardship goes beyond conservation alone. It also encompasses the need to balance preservation with recreation. We understand the importance of preserving the ability to freely enjoy our beautiful lakes, hike in our parks, and paddle our rivers. That's why we'll work tirelessly to mitigate environmental impacts while maintaining opportunities for outdoor recreation and leisure.

By fostering collaboration, implementing renewable energy initiatives, and promoting responsible development practices, we can ensure that Grand Traverse County remains a vibrant and sustainable community for generations to come. Together, let's preserve and protect our natural heritage while embracing the opportunities for recreation and enjoyment that it provides.
