My Vision
County government works to promote the
health, safety and natural resources of its
citizens. I view this as more than a
commitment- I see it as a contract with the
public.
Our public lands must be cared for, and our green space protected for future generations of Duluthians. Our seniors, our children, and those with disabilities have to be given services they need for the best possible quality of life. We need to make sure our citizens feel safe in their homes and neighborhoods, and that we use the best practices at our disposal to see that offenders can one day become productive citizens. And finally, we need to spend our tax dollars in an effective and responsible manner.
As your County Commissioner, I will listen and respond to
your concerns and do what I can to ensure that county
government runs in a manner consistent with your values.
We have weathered difficult times, and I know that we have
the capacity to make St. Louis County one of the best possible places to live. To do this, we must aggressively build on our common values, the values that make our region such a wonderful place to live.
We value the environment and want to see it preserved. I pledge to support thoughtful land use and planning and will be a careful steward of our natural
resources. I will also assure that public lands continue to be available for public use, whether hiking, biking, hunting or fishing.
We value our people and must ensure services are available to meet their needs. I will work to further careful use of our resources to provide social and health services; and I will work hard to see that those most at risk are cared for, including our elderly, our single parents, our mentally ill, or our young children.
We value our public safety and the ability to live freely in our homes and communities. I will work with our elected officials to ensure that the public is protected and support the use of new and creative ways to make both law enforcement and corrections more effective.
We value fiscal responsibility. I will work to ensure that the county is financially stable and that we use our taxes and fees, as well as other funds for which we are responsible, in the most effective ways possible
