Protecting Our Environment
I am passionate about protecting our environment and committed to keeping our city clean.
I want to see a revitalized downtown, well-maintained streets, and litter-free riverways. In the past, I have worked with Paddle Without Pollution to remove garbage from our rivers, helping to preserve these vital waterways for our community.
