I grew up in Alpine. I’m in electrical school, I’ve worked regular jobs here, and I’ve spent years paying attention to Town meetings because the decisions being made now will shape what Alpine becomes.
I’m not running because I think I know everything or because I want more government in people’s lives. I’m running because I’m willing to ask questions, do the homework, and make the government we already have easier to understand, easier to follow, and more accountable to residents.
A practical, systems-minded approach: read the packets, ask clear questions, explain what is happening in plain English, and clean up the process so residents, staff, and council can all track the same issues without digging through scattered documents.
The current site already says the important part: I’m not a career politician. I’m someone who got tired of watching regular residents struggle to follow what was happening, so I started doing the homework and showing up.
I’ve been attending meetings, reading documents, and tracking issues that affect property owners, small businesses, families, and anyone trying to understand what Alpine is doing next.
When Alpine’s fireworks ban language first came forward, I pushed back because it was overly broad and confusing. That pushback helped separate fireworks restrictions from the fire ban, reduce overreach, and make the rules clearer and tied to the proper state-level fire-ban process instead of leaving too much to local discretion.
The campaign site should become a useful local information hub — not just a flyer — so residents can see what is coming up, how to comment, and where issues are in the process.
