Community Vision
as Mayor of Plymouth
I care deeply about our community and have had the privilege of serving Plymouth residents for the past 16 years, including the last eight as Mayor. Plymouth continues to be one of Minnesota's premier communities because of our commitment to public safety, financial stewardship, quality city services, and thoughtful planning. As Mayor, I remain committed to preserving what makes Plymouth special while ensuring we are prepared for the opportunities and challenges ahead.
Keep Plymouth Strong
​As a longtime resident and Mayor of Plymouth, I am committed to keeping our city strong through financial stewardship, responsible growth, and a continued focus on quality services. Public safety, well-maintained infrastructure, accessible transportation, technology, and communication remain the foundation of a strong and successful community.

"I continue to support expansion of the tax base in ways that benefit our residents, community and retains quality of life."
Plymouth continues to deliver exceptional services while maintaining a strong financial position and a competitive tax rate. Through careful planning and responsible investment, we have strengthened our infrastructure, enhanced community amenities, and maintained the high quality of life residents expect. My commitment is to ensure Plymouth remains a welcoming community where residents can live, work, and thrive for generations to come.

Plymouth has always been a place where individuals and families enjoy access to outstanding parks, trails, lakes, and recreational opportunities. Protecting these natural resources and preserving our green spaces is essential to maintaining the quality of life that makes Plymouth such a desirable place to call home.
Taking Care of Community
Since moving to Plymouth in 2000, I have dedicated my time to serving our community and strengthening the qualities that make our city exceptional. Safe neighborhoods, outstanding parks and recreation, strong city services, and responsive local government all contribute to Plymouth's success. Through collaboration and partnership, we continue to build on that success while keeping public safety at the forefront.
During 16 years of service to Plymouth residents, including eight years as Mayor, I have worked alongside community leaders, residents, businesses, and city staff to address challenges and seize opportunities. My focus remains on responsible leadership, financial stewardship, and preserving the high quality of life that Plymouth families value.
Our business community remains an essential part of Plymouth's success. Supporting local businesses, encouraging smart development, and maintaining a strong economic foundation help create jobs, strengthen our tax base, and ensure Plymouth remains a vibrant place to live and work.
Together, we have built a city where families thrive, businesses grow, and public safety comes first. Plymouth is one of the best places in Minnesota to live, work, and raise a family.
