What do donuts, ice cream, the trades and a warehouse all have in common? They are all businesses that have brought the kinds of new jobs to Fridley that we celebrate on Labor Day since I have been on our city council!

Businesses invest in our community because we are safe and make it easy to do business here. A local plumber talking about his recent expansion in Fridley shared the name of one of our engineers and how helpful that staff member was with navigating code requirements.

These are the tangible impacts I have had on our business community, resulting in more local jobs and supporting workers!

Happy Labor Day!

In the most recent resident survey, 88% of residents believed the city was headed in the right direction and 92% would recommend others live in our community.

Keeping Fridley on the right path is continuous work that requires experienced, disciplined leadership that I am looking forward to providing my neighbors and is why I am running for re-election.

Even though these results demonstrate success, the city can still do better and I am committed to listening to the needs of residents about the concerns I hear most commonly, which includes public safety, lowering traffic speeds, protecting our investment in our new parks, all while keeping taxes low.

I have been a member of the Twin Cities North chamber for years, and yesterday was able to attend the annual meeting hosted by Forgotten Star Brewing here in Fridley.

I am regularly asked about my plan for business development in our city and my answer is that it always begins with supporting the businesses we have now. Drink a beer at the brewery, go see a show at Crooners, or take the kids for a scoop of ice cream at Flamingos or Big Dipper.

The city needs to create an environment that encourages investment, including public safety, a city code that is easy to navigate, and knowledgeable staff who can assist business owners. Fridley does all these things and we are seeing new business in our city, bringing jobs and fun places to dine out!

Thank you to everyone who has supported my re-election campaign and helping me win the primary for Ward 2!

I look forward to meeting with more residents leading up to the November Election and sharing with them with why *experience matters* when deciding who should represent Fridley.

Thank you!

I am grateful for City of Fridley Public Safety and their work protecting our city. Public safety is foundational to building a community where families and businesses want to live and work, and I am proud of my work ensuring that Fridley police and fire staff feel supported by council and have the tools they need so that residents feel safe living here!
