St. Paul Church, lifelong parishioner
We need transparent, fiscally conservative, experienced leaders that have the knowledge and enthusiasm to preserve and ensure a prosperous city for years to come.
I have found my service as Mayor is a perfect fit to leverage my background as a business owner, non-profit leader, strong manager, and advocate for families.
I have been pleased to work with Council in the areas of promoting greater citizen interaction, providing improved amenities for our residents through our parks & recreation and ensuring that our economic impact remains vital.
As a mom, my most important job is to be a role model to my son, Brady. I want my family, as well as yours, to be proud to call Florence home.
Under my leadership, Florence has prospered.
I am proud of the progress the city has made in a fiscally responsible manner that includes lowering real estate taxes for our citizens.
As Northern Kentucky's commercial hub, we are continuing to build on that foundation with disciplined and strategic growth.
Embracing new technology in many forms, including the use of Adaptive Signal Technology to reduce traffic congestion in the U.S. 42 corridor.
Placing a strong emphasis on citizen engagement and transparency programs such as 'Coffee with the Mayor', our YouTube Channel, the Mayor's Academy, the online budget transparency portal, and many others.
Florence is recognized as a desirable place to live, work and visit.
Florence will be recognized for its high standard of service to all residents and as a leader in the state.
I will focus on programs that create an identity for the city as a destination of choice, while enhancing the resident’s quality of life.
The city will be viewed as a community partner that works collaboratively with other local government, business, and non-profit entities.
The city will attract people of all ages to the parks and recreation opportunities that are being provided through our comprehensive Parks Master Plan and the scheduled improvements.
