Building a stronger Dunn County through responsible budgets, safe infrastructure, and responsive leadership.

Why I’m Running for Re-Election

I am running for re-election to the Dunn County Board of Supervisors because I believe local government works best when it is thoughtful, transparent, and focused on the people it serves.

I originally ran for the County Board in 2024 after spending five years working for Dunn County, gaining first-hand experience with how county government operates and how decisions affect residents, staff, and services. That experience motivated me to step forward and serve, and it continues to guide my work today.

Since being elected, I’ve focused on listening to constituents, asking questions, and making informed decisions that balance the needs of the community with responsible use of county resources. Whether reviewing budgets, addressing health and human services, maintaining roads, or planning for long-term infrastructure needs, my goal is to ensure Dunn County provides high-quality services while staying fiscally responsible.

Experience, Education, and Community Service

My work on the County Board is informed by both professional experience and continued learning. In addition to my background working for the county, I am currently pursuing a Master of Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls, with graduation expected this summer.

The knowledge and skills I’ve gained, from budgeting and financial analysis to strategic planning and leadership, help me make thoughtful, practical decisions on the board.

Serving the community also happens beyond elected office. I volunteer with the Dunn County 4-H Program, where I serve as Vice President of the 4-H Leaders Federation and co-lead two county-wide project groups: the Youth Activity Council and the Small Animal Project. This work allows me to support youth development and leadership while investing in the future of our community.

Priorities & Accomplishments

County government touches many aspects of daily life, and I focus on the areas that matter most to residents:

Responsible Use of Taxpayer Dollars

I work to ensure county budgets are carefully planned, transparent, and balanced, so residents receive quality services without unnecessary spending.

Health & Human Services
I support programs that provide mental health services, support families, care for seniors, and assist veterans, making sure help is available to those who need it most.

Infrastructure & Public Safety
I advocate for safe roads, reliable emergency services, and smart long-term planning to maintain essential infrastructure for our community.

Open & Transparent Government
I prioritize listening to residents, encouraging public input, and keeping county decisions clear and understandable.

Through these priorities, I’ve contributed to practical, results-focused decisions on the County Board, helping ensure Dunn County is a place where people can live, work, and thrive.

Rooted in Dunn County

I have lived in Dunn County since 2016, where my husband and I have built our lives and continue to call this community home. After years of moving due to my husband’s 23-year career in the U.S. Air Force, which took our family to seven states and two countries, we chose Dunn County as the place to put down roots because of the people, values, and sense of community here.

Our two children are now adults, and our commitment to Dunn County remains strong. This is where we’ve invested our time, energy, and service, and where I am proud to continue working on behalf of the community as your County Board Supervisor.
