Press Room

Thank you to the Hudson voters who have supported me through the last year (really, 2 years) of campaigning for a seat on council! As with everything else in life, the deciding moments of campaigns and careers are just one event in a lifetime of events. We must go on! And go on, I will, though I do not know at the moment exactly where that will take me.I am exceptionally proud that my friends Chris Banweg and Karen Heater were able to secure 2 of the 3 seats on Hudson City Council; they are great people and will restore sanity to our local government. They have been a joy to work with for the last 8 months and I am privileged to have played a role in their successful campaigns. My view on all of this is that we "won the war," even if I lost my "battle." This makes Hudson the winner in the end!If you have a yard sign, please recycle the stake and find a creative use for the corrugated plastic as I will not be collecting them for future use. ...

Transparent Government

The actions of some of our city staff and the council president—conducting city business in the dark and intentionally frustrating collaboration among all of council—have created financial and reputational liabilities for Hudson that must be addressed.  Too many residents feel disconnected from city government; too many feel that the leaders are not addressing the real needs of the people...

Infrastructure Equity

What is it like to live in Hudson?
There isn’t one answer.

When the Village and the Township of Hudson merged in 1994, residents hoped that everyone in the new City of Hudson would have access to the same services and choices of providers—that people living outside of the village would have a real benefit for joining in to the municipality.  Yet, here we are 27 years later, with a very uneven living experience from one neighborhood to another.  Whether it is in water service, sanitary sewer, or rebuilding our roads, it is time to focus on investing in essential infrastructure rather than continually bailing out things like the Velocity Broadband money pit...

Responsible Spending

If you paid attention to the operation of Hudson by city staff through 2019, you share my concern that our tax dollars are being spent irresponsibly.  The spending habits of our city manager and her staff went unchecked by city council and with little meaningful oversight.  Much of that changed with the elections of 2019 that put fiscal conservatives into 3 of the 4 ward seats...

Thoughtful Development

What makes Hudson a great place to live?  There are many things!  Part of it is the people; we are an incredibly intelligent town with more than double the national average of completed undergraduate and graduate degree holders. We place a high value on volunteerism and philanthropy and your “neighbor” who will help out in a time of need might not actually live next to you...

Contribute

Per the Ohio Revised Code, contributions to City candidates are limited to $100 in cash per person over the age of 8 years in your household in any election cycle. Hudson has an unconstitutional and unenforceable ordinance that purports to limit council campaign contributions to $100 per person in Hudson, though this limitation is not placed on other city office-seekers.  If you'd like to learn more about the legislative history and the people involved in passing and supporting this bad law, send me an email or text and I'll fill you in.

The current election cycle ends on November 2, 2021 (Election Day).
