Real Impact

As a Bonner Springs City Councilmember, every dollar and initiative I helped advance was aimed at long-term sustainability.

Whether it was ensuring the water is safe to drink, the fire department arrives faster, or your tax bill stays manageable, her record is built on the idea that government should provide tangible value that makes daily life easier for every Kansan.

  • Lowering Tax Levies for 5 Consecutive Years

    This act serves as a shield against inflation, ensuring that as the cost of living rises, the local government’s take from your paycheck stays lower, keeping more money in the pockets of working families.

    Small Business-Friendly Fees & Facade Programs

    By lowering the barrier to entry for entrepreneurs, these initiatives revitalize local "Main Streets," creating jobs and ensuring that your tax dollars circulate within the local economy rather than leaving the state.

    A+ Finance Audit Ratings

    Maintaining top-tier fiscal health ensures the city qualifies for the lowest interest rates on loans, saving taxpayers millions in long-term interest costs on major community projects.

  • $30 Million Water Treatment Plant & Waterline Upgrades

    This critical investment ensures Kansan families and farmers have access to safe, clean water while preventing the costly property damage and health risks associated with failing, antiquated infrastructure.

    Transitioning to a Full-Time Fire Department

    Moving from a volunteer-reliant model to full-time staffing drastically reduces emergency response times, providing the peace of mind that professional help is seconds—not minutes—away when every second counts.

    $3 Million in Equipment for First Responders

    Investing in modern tools for Police and Public Works ensures that our civil servants can perform their jobs safely and effectively, keeping our neighborhoods secure and our roads clear during Kansas winters.

  • Diverse Housing (Senior Living & Moderate-Income Apartments)

    Expanding housing options ensures that Kansan families can stay in their communities through every stage of life, allowing seniors to downsize without leaving their friends and young professionals to buy their first homes where they work.

    Modernizing City Codes & Ordinances

    By "cleaning up" the red tape, these changes lower the cost of development, making it easier and more affordable to build the homes and businesses the district needs to grow.

  • Public-Private Partnership for a New City Park & Splash Pad

    This collaborative approach provided high-quality recreation for Kansas children and families without placing the entire financial burden on the city’s budget.

    $500+ Million Development Agreement:

    Securing large-scale investment broadens the tax base, meaning large corporations carry more of the city's financial weight so that individual homeowners don't have to.

    Common Consumption Ordinances for Special Events

    These policies boost attendance and foot traffic for local vendors, turning community events into economic engines that support local artisans and small business owners.
