I want Cottage Grove to be the largest SMALL CITY in the metro. There are benefits to small cities and large cities. I want Cottage Grove to have good people that work together to help others in the Community.  This attitude helps keep our community vibrant and strong. It attracts larger companies that look for a strong moral workforce, it creates a stronger environment to help new companies to reach that "critical mass" that helps them be successful. It means parents and officials working more with students and teachers to keep our schools effective and fun.

Larger cities have the economies of scale to help afford more amenities for residents and businesses.

Developers see this and want to build homes and businesses in this type of community. People looking for good schools and a vibrant community want to buy homes and raise their families or spend their lives in our community. Let's make it happen!

I am dedicated to ensuring that Cottage Grove remains a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

I am committed to making sure that kids in Cottage Grove continue to get the highest quality education possible.

I will work hard to make sure that Cottage Grove's local business community stays strong and vibrant. 

I believe that we have to work together to build the Cottage Grove that we want to see.

I make balanced and educated decisions. I am an open, thoughtful, and conscientious leader.
