Welcome! Like many of you, Jennie and I chose to retire here, while others chose IOP as the place to raise your families. That’s because our island is more than a beautiful destination - it's home, a community, a way of life. But in recent years, mounting pressures on our home have approached a tipping point. The trend for our community - public safety, traffic, beach health, aging infrastructure, finances, quality of life - is under pressure from regional accelerating growth. Residents and property owners are asked to accept the impacts and fund these growing demands on services, beaches, and our neighborhoods. We should share the burden with those who create the demand without sacrificing livability. I'm running for Mayor to ensure residents voices are heard in every policy decision and deliver on commitments. I bring decades of professional leadership and years of civic service. With your support, I will work with Council and Columbia to get ahead of challenges, deliver results and keep IOP the extraordinary community we call home.
