Coming from a community where efforts to replace a century old bridge have taken nearly three decades, I am passionate about ensuring that essential infrastructure is neither overlooked nor placed as a burden only carried  by our limited local budgets. I will fight to make sure we have ongoing, predictable state and federal investments to help meet essential infrastructure needs. This will allow communities to maintain authority over public infrastructure, ensuring that high-quality services are delivered in the most efficient manner possible. We also need to be forward thinking, and invest in building safe, climate resilient infrastructure and sustainable technologies that will serve our communities into the future.
