Issues
Budget
Maintain a budget that is economically feasible to sustain steady growth and a high quality of living for all our residents.

Education
As a Village Board Trustee we do not get involved directly into the budgeting or managing of the schools. But both Menomonee Falls and Hamilton Sussex School districts are critical to the success of our community. I fully support their missions to have the best education and skills to give our children the best future possible.
