 Qualified, proven, competent. 2) My commitment to our community and relevant, robust professional skills make me the best candidate. During the last 10 years, I have volunteered in numerous classrooms, served as PTO president of my children’s school for two years, chaired a campaign to pass much needed funding for our school district and served on Westminster’s boards and commissions. I am an attorney with a background in complex finance and real estate development transactions all around Colorado. I have a B.A. in economics, an M.B.A., an M.S. Finance and J.D. This unique combination is the leadership our City needs. I have the necessary background to build upon Westminster’s success and work for plans that support all of Westminster. 3) Diversifying our economic development plan to increase quality job opportunities throughout Westminster. Increasing the supply of housing that people can afford. Improving our City’s partnership with our public schools. 4) Successful redevelopment will reflect the wishes of Westminster residents. I will use my back-ground to champion a vibrant downtown area and an exciting citywide gathering place. JCPenny’s decision to remain and Alamo Draft House’s commitment to participate in our project are a great beginning. We need to continue this work. 5) All areas of the city need support and attention from City Council. We all do better when we all do better.
