I decided to run for Mayor because like many of our citizens, I want to see a change in Great Bend. We need to start putting Great Bend first and making decisions that will bring a positive impact for the whole community. Ultimately, my goal is to help Great Bend grow and not only see more new businesses move to Great Bend, but make Great Bend a place where families want to raise their children. First and foremost, we will need to hire the critical positions to help our city build the foundation needed to start moving forward. Once they are hired, we will be able to focus on the important topics that we are all concerned about, which are my goals as Mayor.
