Invest in the Future of Traverse City.
We're at a crossroads.
Traverse City is growing faster than our ability to house the teachers, nurses, and working families who make our community thrive. Local businesses are struggling through brutal winter months while summer housing costs push out year-round residents. Our infrastructure needs are mounting while we navigate complex development decisions that will shape our community for decades.
The solutions exist. What we need is leadership that can bring people together to implement them.
This campaign is different.
I'm not running to advance an agenda – I'm running to advance our community. With experience leading over 150 community engagement meetings nationwide and current service on the BATA Board, I know how to build consensus and turn good ideas into real results.
But grassroots campaigns require grassroots support. While special interests and developers have deep pockets, this campaign depends on neighbors like you who believe in collaborative leadership and smart solutions.
Your contribution directly funds:
Community Outreach – Door-to-door conversations in every neighborhood to hear directly from residents about housing, transportation, and economic priorities
Digital Engagement – Reaching younger voters and working families through targeted social media and text messaging about local issues that matter
Voter Education – Materials that explain how collaborative governance can solve our housing shortage, support year-round business viability, and improve transportation connectivity
Strategic Communications – Getting our message of practical solutions and inclusive leadership to the voters who will decide this election
Every dollar stays local and works locally.
This isn't a national political campaign with consultants from D.C. Every contribution goes directly toward connecting with Traverse City voters about Traverse City solutions. We're not just asking for your vote – we're asking you to invest in the kind of community engagement that leads to better outcomes for everyone.
Your contribution funds direct voter outreach about housing solutions, year-round economic stability, and transportation that works for everyone.
