Prairie Village is a special, almost magical, place. I ran for Mayor because I wanted to make sure we remained one of the most sought-after places to live, learn, shop, and do business in the region. During my first term, through the greatest external adversity we’ve ever faced, I fought successfully to maintain and enhance the attributes that make Prairie Village charming: We doubled our parkland; invested more in police, public safety, and roads; retained our top “tripleA” fiscal rating; held tax rates low; increased sustainability; led the region with health measures; strengthened neighborhoods; redeveloped commercial centers; increased transparency; encouraged diversity; and more. And we’re just getting warmed up. That’s why I’m running for re-election – to finish the work we started and ensure that Prairie Village stays on the right path.
