Two years ago in the summer of 2024, I had made the comment, "Cheyenne's nine members of the city council, have more experience, than half of the 92 members of the State Legislature." Since then, through a series of actions and events, four members will not be on the council at the end of this term. This being my only second reelection campaign, I would be forth in seniority. The four members lost, total 59 years of experience. This is why I feel my election is crucial for the future of our city.

I am committed to seeing the Read Avenue Rail Corridor completed.
I am also committed to seeing the Hynds Building being completely renovated and the hole next to it filled with a new tenant and office building. The city is currently working with the BNSF Railroad on the Read Avenue Project and a development management team on the Hynds project.
My third priority would be seeing the Historical Pump House being completely renovated and put to use as a city center and educational development facility.
