Support for Public Service:

As a dedicated advocate for public service, I am committed to supporting both career professionals and volunteers. As Dayton experiences growth, it is crucial that our essential services, including the Fire and Police Departments, keep pace. Forward planning is essential, and one proactive step we can take is securing land in an optimal location for a future 3rd Fire Station. While construction is not immediate, procuring the land now will save costs as availability decreases and prices rise. Additionally, I strongly endorse the expansion of our Public Works Department to ensure it continues to meet and exceed the expectations of our residents.

Forward thinking in terms of Infrastructure Planning:

As an advocate for the residents of Dayton, I emphasize the importance of investing in both the quantity and quality of our water supply. City Staff have identified areas with insufficient water quantity, quality, or both. I strongly support a thorough evaluation of potential solutions to ensure that our residents receive the high standard of water they deserve.

Recently, the City Staff and Council made significant progress in water treatment, but ongoing attention and effort are essential. Additionally, we must address water quantity challenges, particularly in the northern areas, by exploring affordable solutions.

Furthermore, I endorse a proactive approach to water infrastructure development. This includes identifying and securing available funding, often at the state level, to support our community’s water needs.

I fully endorse the preservation of larger lot sizes where it aligns with our comprehensive plan and the demographics of Dayton. I believe that Dayton benefits from diversity in terms of lot size, housing types, and price points. This approach not only maintains our town’s character but also ensures that Dayton remains accessible for all residents to live, work, and enjoy.

Vision for an Active Dayton

Foster Community Engagement through Dynamic Partnerships. My goal is to cultivate a community where safety and quality of life are top priorities. I am dedicated to enhancing our connection to natural resources and ensuring that city services are efficient, responsible, and responsive, particularly as Dayton's population grows. By partnering with local youth sports groups and activity organizations, I aim to boost engagement across all age demographics. This effort will deepen community bonds and open up diverse avenues for connection and participation for all Dayton residents
