Castle Pines deserves leadership that listens, plans, and delivers. As Mayor Pro Tem and a hands-on civic partner, I’ve worked alongside neighbors, businesses, and regional leaders to protect what makes our city special—while preparing for the challenges ahead. Over the past four years, I’ve helped advance many of the priorities our community cares about most: safety, infrastructure, responsible growth, and long-term sustainability. This platform builds on that progress and outlines where I’ll focus next if re-elected.
No member of council can accomplish these goals alone—and I don’t claim to. Real progress takes collaboration, consensus, and a majority of council working together. That’s how we’ve moved Castle Pines forward, and that’s how we’ll continue to do it.
