Overland Park, Ward 1

My Vision: EMPOWERING OVERLAND PARK FOR A THRIVING and SUSTAINABLE FUTURE"

I envision a vibrant and inclusive Overland Park where every resident has a voice, and their needs and aspirations are met. My campaign aims to build a community that thrives on innovation, sustainability ensuring a high quality life for ALL!

ACCOUNTABLE GOVERNANCE:

1) I will lead and encourage the council to value integrity and accountability. I will require the council to actively engage with residents, seeking their input on key decisions and making information available to all.

2) Listen and take note of the distressed and worried voices of Johnson County residents.

3) Respond to the will of the people about their high property taxation.

4) Use more local and minority contactors.

5) Scrutinize and question giving BIG BUSINESS 30 year tax deferments

6) Examine and be aware of the needs of the 30,000 elderly on limited incomes to have fair and reduced property taxes.

7) Create a community that is rich and vibrant where everyone can thrive.

TOGETHER,LET US CREATE A FUTURE FOR OVERLAND PARK THAT UPLIFTS EVERY RESIDENT AND LEAVES A LASTING LEGACY FOR FUTURE GENRATIONS. I WILL SEEK TO MAKE OVERLAND PARK A SHINING EXAMPLE OF PROGRESS AND INNOVATION.
