It's Time for New Leadership in Ankeny
I am running for election to Ankeny City Council this November. I promise to work tirelessly to make Ankeny a community that everyone can thrive in.
Together we can ensure Ankeny has excellent public services and infrastructure, create housing options for all residents, and develops responsibly with a long-term mentality.
Key Issues For Our Community

Excellent Public Services and Infrastructure
Ankeny currently has excellent public services and infrastructure. It will be my top priority to continue to expand and improve these as our city grows.
I also will strive to add new services and infrastructure as our community faces new needs, particularly mental health services and bike trails.
Unfortunately, our city council has at times passed up grant funding which could have been used to enrich Ankeny, I promise to always seek out such opportunities.
Housing Options for All
Our community struggles with increasingly high housing costs. The city government has worsened this problem through unnecessary government red tape, which has prohibited many types of housing. My goal is to eliminate these overbearing zoning regulations.
We must allow the construction of homes that address the needs of all members of our community, whether young or old, rich or poor.
Responsible Development
Our city needs a responsible long-term development strategy, with a priority on improving our fiscal strength.
We must promote job growth, particularly by legalizing mixed use development which is essential for small businesses.
We must find innovative solutions to traffic congestion, such as enabling new means of transportation throughout our community.
Overall, my goal is to improve our community's excellent quality of living, while keeping our city's tax rate low.
