The unmistakable impacts of climate change can no longer be ignored. We are seeing this on a global, national, and local scale. And Louisville, far more than most communities, understands this in a personal and visceral way. As we rebuild from the ravages of the Marshall Fire we can and should provide leadership in all aspects of safe,  sustainable living….

 

From government processes and infrastructure, to retail and commercial spaces, to our schools and homes.

 

I feel an obligation to all our Louisville residents, especially our youth, to work hard to make Louisville a beacon for what is possible while helping make our little corner of the world a better place for generations to come.

Louisville is a great place to live, work, and play. To keep it this way, we need to maintain our small-town character and feel while prioritizing:

​

• Parks and open spaces.

• Infrastructure that works for us all..

• Support for the arts, entertainment, innovation, and entrepreneurship. .

• Retail and commercial businesses that meet community needs and provides a strong tax base.

• Inclusive support of all community members regardless of age, race, religion, ability or disability, gender identity, orientation, or family status.​

​​

I am proud that our City Council and professional staff – driven by community values - strives to create the highest vision of what our community can be.

Let's make sure Louisville continues to be one of the best places in the state and the nation to raise a family, be a young professional, or retire with security and dignity. This means:

 

• Mitigating climate driven health and safety risks including minimizing greenhouse gas emissions and managing wildfire risk.

• Preserving and sustainably caring for our open spaces, parks and recreation facilities. 

• Maintaining and expanding community,  recreational, senior, and special needs services and facilities. .

• Safe routes to school and other expanded pedestrian and bike access.

• Quiet and peaceful skies and neighborhoods 

​

I am committed to approaching these issues, and all the challenges we face, with honesty, integrity, innovation, and compassion.
