Why I’m Running
Picture yourself walking to your favorite café or local market, down a calm, tree-lined street, feeling the warm sun on your face and stopping to chat with your neighbors. It’s not just about getting somewhere; it’s about enjoying the journey. It’s an adventure that connects us with our community on a deeper level.
This is why I’m running.
While Morrisville has some great examples of walkable, well-integrated neighborhoods, too many areas were built in ways that separate where we live, work, and shop. This has made us overly dependent on cars, and if we don’t act now, it will continue to erode our sense of community.
By prioritizing pedestrians and creating spaces that invite connection, we can improve our health, reduce our environmental impact, and grow a more vibrant local economy. Together, we can build a more perfect Morrisville.

Transportation - A New Model for Mobility
We’ve invested in roads, but now it’s time to invest just as boldly in people-first streets—safe sidewalks, protected bike lanes, and connected greenways that make it easy and enjoyable for everyone to get around without a car.
Priorities
Managing Growth—Design, Not Just Density
Growth is inevitable. The question is whether we design it thoughtfully so that it creates walkable neighborhoods, supports small businesses, and preserves our green spaces.
Environment—Climate-Forward Leadership
I’ll champion a climate-smart future with net-zero development standards and clean energy investments that keep Morrisville healthy and resilient.
Town Center—Activate the Vision
I will work to ensure our Town Center becomes the true heart of Morrisville—a place where you can stroll, meet friends, enjoy local food, and celebrate our diverse community.
Transparency & Engagement—Deep Co-Creation
I believe transparency means more than sharing information—it means sharing decision-making power.
Public Safety—Built Environment as Prevention
Public safety starts with well-designed streets and public spaces where neighbors look out for each other.
