Why am I running for re-election?

• To give voice to views of the people I represent,
• To protect the very special quality of life we want to preserve,
• To meet the challenges to our environment.

I love Ann Arbor, its people, and its diverse neighborhoods. I grew up in a neighborhood that was like an extended family. We all knew each other and watched out for each other. Right now, the 5th Ward is a place where we still wave and smile and help each other. This sense of neighborhood and community makes Ann Arbor great.

I believe that many factors encourage this climate of friendliness and should be preserved. I want to protect our many distinct neighborhoods from the unintended consequences of the kinds of proposed zoning changes and sun-light blocking structures that may well undermine our sense of community and destroy the look and feel of our neighborhoods. Instead, let�s encourage development that respects the scale, architecture, and social climate of our different neighborhoods.

Ann Arbor faces complex, interrelated environmental challenges:

Water management
Tree replanting
Energy efficiency
Non-motorized transportation

I am working to address these issues in a comprehensive, cohesive way that will maximize positive outcomes.

My goal is to put Ann Arbor citizens first. I am working so that the ideas and ideals of the community drive decisions. I know from my term in office that citizens have the skills, knowledge, and deep personal commitment to Ann Arbor to take us forward in the best possible way.
