When I saw Vineyard’s parking crisis. I organized hundreds of residents and started a grassroots movement called Fix Vineyard Parking, bringing the city to the table to address this long-overdue crisis. Through this process, it became clear we have a systemic issue, and leadership has not treated this matter with the urgency it deserves. This is why I’m running, to remove the city pass requirement in Lakefront, get the city out of the parking business, ensure all future developments have ample or surplus parking, and stop predatory booting practices that are harming our students. By doing all of those things, we will fix the parking shortage, prevent the overcrowding of streets for homeowners, and stop the parking situation from continuing to be a stain on Vineyard’s reputation. HOA boards are elected by their neighborhoods to represent their people, they are the voice of their community and the city should be working hand in hand with them and listening, they know their community needs, this shouldn’t be a fight, it should be about helping people, and I’m committed to continuing this work and finishing the job on City Council.

A limited tax base has led to rising property taxes for some residents. I will fight against tax hikes, especially for seniors, push for responsible spending, and cut wasteful expenses. I will also work to attract more businesses to expand our tax base, which will help lower property taxes and ease the tax burden on our residents.

As someone with experience in the mental health field, I know how much our environment affects our well-being. Access to parks, trails, and the lake is essential for mental health, family connection, and the community. Vineyard's natural beauty is a gift, but it requires proactive leadership to protect and enhance these spaces for both people and wildlife. At the same time, we must confront Vineyard’s severe bug problem, which is limiting access to our parks, trails, and lake. I refuse to accept that this is just how it is. I am committed to working with scientists and experts to find real, professional, and effective solutions. We can protect the environment and Defeat the Bugs, both are critical to restoring and improving the quality of life for all Vineyard residents.

Families need more places to connect and enjoy the city. I will push for outdoor entertainment like go-kart racing, family centers like FatCats, amphitheaters, parks, and public spaces to bring the community together.

Vineyard needs a stronger tax base.I will fight against high-density development and push for commercial businesses like Trader Joe’s and family-friendly entertainment to boost sales tax revenue and fund infrastructure.

With rapid growth, education funding is critical. I will fight to keep education taxes out of the RDA, push to restructure it, and work with the cities that have formed the new “Timpanogos School District” to ensure our teachers and students are supported.

Residents deserve a city government that listens. I will push for public comments at the beginning of each City Council meeting and create a culture that welcomes open debate and public disagreements. We must ensure all voices are heard and work toward the best solutions that benefit everyone. Even when we may not all agree on the final decision, every resident deserves to be listened to and respected.
