I believe that as a village, we need new and expand existing services is a huge focus for success. Assisting the president and trustees with idea generating discussion is how I plan to add value to this role.

While the village accounts for less than 10 percent of the total property tax bill in Lake Bluff, it continues to pursue new avenues of revenue, primarily in the area of sales tax. In these fiscally uncertain times, the village is working to invest more in infrastructure and setting priorities to maintain its Triple A bond rating. At the same time, the village continues to be prudent with its reserves and committed to offering high-quality community services for the people of Lake Bluff. As we move forward with new opportunities for Lake Bluff, my goal is to make sure that all residents have a voice in the discussions. a Lake Bluff upbringing from the age of 4.

I am a resident that always has an eye out to improve my surroundings. I ask the questions that generally go unasked. I care when residents are inconvenienced and the village needs to be brought to the attention of correction. I look forward to being part of the change that enables our time in Lake Bluff to continue to be the kind of amazing I have always known Lake Bluff to be. What makes you the best/top candidate for this position? I have volunteered for numerous boards and in different positions since moving here in 2011.

I have children in the Lake Bluff Elementary and Middle Schools, along with Lake Forest High School, which gives me great perspective regarding our school districts.

Additionally, pension liabilities are uncertain. Within the high school building it is very important for us to stay the course and build on the educational gains we have achieved in the past four years. Our ACT scores are best in class at 26.4. AP Course participation rate is way up while AP Pass rates have remained solid at 95 percent. A stable, well functioning board is critical to maintain and build on these gains. We have a positive record and want to build on these gains incrementally. What makes you the best/a top candidate for this position? I am very proud of where Lake Forest High School is positioned today. I am the most experienced and longest serving board member. I serve on multiple vital committees and provide stability and continuity. I understand the mission and vision of the Lake Forest High School, know the issues we are dealing with and am prepared to continue serving so that we can continue to strive and do great things for our students and the larger community. I am also independent and a financial watchdog and realize our resources are not unlimited and the board must weigh the interests of students, staff, administration, taxpayers and other stakeholders and balance them to provide the best product available at a reasonable cost. I ask for the community’s vote on April 4.
