Keeping Kalispell home, while shaping what’s next — together.

Kalispell is growing, and that growth is changing daily life. How do we keep Kalispell a place where people can live well; not just now, but for the long haul? I’m focused on practical, people-first solutions that make everyday life better for everyone, whether you’ve lived here for generations or just arrived.

Because living well means working together to keep Kalispell the place we call home.

 

Making Everyday Life in Kalispell Better

All across our community, people — both individuals and families — are doing their best to keep up with rising costs, housing challenges, and limited access to the local services they rely on. I’m committed to supporting local programs that promote a healthier, more connected Kalispell. That includes investing in parks, trails, and safe neighborhoods, as well as building partnerships that strengthen access to quality services we all need.

Growth That Connects People

Growth should strengthen—not stretch—our sense of community. That means encouraging walkable, bike-friendly, mixed-use development that connects people to the places that bring us together: like your favorite local coffee shop or business, Depot Park, or the Parkline trail system. These are the spaces where connection happens — and Kalispell needs more of them.

Imagine how a community-centered indoor ice rink or curling barn could enrich that vision — offering families, kids, and seniors alike a place to stay active, gather, and connect through recreation all year round. Thoughtful amenities like these don’t just enhance quality of life — they make Kalispell a place people call home.

Family-Sustaining Wages & Strong Partnerships

I’m committed to supporting policies and partnerships that create family-sustaining jobs and economic opportunities for Kalispell. By working closely with local businesses and community leaders, we can build a thriving economy that works for everyone.

Affordable Housing that Supports People and Places

Affordable, stable housing fuels economic vitality and community well-being. I’m running for city council to support practical solutions that help people stay rooted and neighborhoods thrive.  

Conversations that Count

Progress starts when people feel heard. That means honest conversations, even when they’re tough, and making sure community voices help shape the decisions that affect our daily lives. I am committed to honest, straightforward communication and making sure folks in Ward Two have a seat at the table when choices are made.

Protecting Our Water and Community Resources

Protecting our water resources is critical for Kalispell’s future. I support common-sense water use, incentives for conservation, and working with developers to ensure growth is responsible and sustainable. 

Safe Neighborhoods

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood. That’s why I support our first responders (police, firefighters, and EMTs) and investment in community-based safety programs.
