Other facts

Dakota County is a great place to live and be a responsible citizen. I am a conservationist who enjoys fishing, kayaking rivers, gardening and camping. 
Having and maintaining safe water and soil quality is a high priority to me and it should be with everyone.

If elected I will work hard to maintain high standards of quality and high customer service to those within the district. 

I am also a volunteer with Small Dog Rescue of MN. Fostering two adorable Shih Tzu littermates who are soon to be adopted.
