Listening First, Working Together.
I love Owatonna; I’ve lived here my entire life. I believe the decisions we make today should strengthen our community now and help shape a strong future.
We should expect great things from the place we call home: a city that invests wisely, grows thoughtfully, and makes decisions people can trust.
Good decisions start with listening, independent thinking, and common sense. That means asking the right questions and taking the time to consider what a decision will actually mean for the people affected by it.
That’s the approach I would bring to the City Council. I’m committed to being respectful, honest, and accessible. I’m willing to speak up when it matters, and I will never lose sight of who I’m working for.
I would welcome the opportunity to serve, and I hope you’ll consider me this November.

Do you support continuing to use Flock/ licence plate readers in the city? Why or why not?
I support the use of Flock technology in Owatonna. It has provided useful investigative leads and helped officers recover stolen vehicles, locate wanted individuals, and solve crimes. Those results demonstrate its value as a law-enforcement tool.
We should analyze the current system's effectiveness and use those findings in future renewal decisions. OPD has not yet evaluated individual camera locations, and I would like to see whether the number and placement of our eight cameras are providing the best public-safety value.
I appreciate that OPD approached the initial investment with fiscal restraint. Responsible investment also means evaluating results and making adjustments when appropriate.
Law enforcement should have effective tools to keep our community safe, while residents should expect transparency regarding data retention, access, sharing, and safeguards against misuse. Continued use should be based on demonstrated effectiveness, accountability, and a clear public purpose.
