Outdoor Recreation, Business + Open Space
Golden’s proximity to natural amenities is what gives us opportunity. We have access to world renowned outdoor recreation and we are home to several outdoor businesses, entrepreneurs and non-profits. Through service on the Parks and Rec board, the Golden Investment Task Force and JeffCo Trails Council, I know that access, connection, preserving the environment and open space are priorities for Goldenites - and for me.
Rooted in Responsive Government
The role of City Council is to listen to residents, have tough discussions and make decisions for the betterment of the community. I can do this. As an advocate for victims of crime, I have been trained to listen and work on behalf of others. I work with government from local to federal levels as an active transportation advocate. And with Golden United, we’ve been teaching ourselves and neighbors how to have civil discourse. It’s about respectfully understanding the others’ views, coming up with a thesis, antithesis and then a synthesis that’s better.
Coffee with a Councilor is a great program and I will continue the tradition.
