Welcome

Thanks for visiting this site to learn more about me and my candidacy for Mayor of the City of Wauwatosa. The April 1, 2008 election is an important decision for our community. Our decisions in the next four years will affect Wauwatosa for decades to come. As Mayor, I have the vision to choose the right path, a commitment to timely action, and the ability to manage the delivery of responsive public services in a cost effective manner.

I can make a difference in the future of Wauwatosa. I respectfully ask for your support in the election for Mayor on April 1, 2008.

The financial status of the city is solid. I am proud of my leadership role over the last eight years in assuring that our coveted AAA bond rating status is maintained.

Others might talk of a journey to a brighter future. As your Mayor I will pursue the directions that I share with you in considerable detail on this site and in the many discussions with citizens like you over the past several months. These conceptual plans cover a wide breadth ranging from:

• focusing on quality redevelopment
• eliminating blight
• developing parks and greenspace
• embracing an environmental approach in our development strategies
• sustaining the incredible strength in our community’s neighborhoods
• improving our city services
• managing effectively a $50M and 600 employee enterprise.

I want to communicate my ideas – and continue to get your input — on how we together can make Wauwatosa the most desirable place to place to live in this state!

I invite your review of my record as an elected official. I hope you become familiar with my 30+ year management career in the private sector, in government and running my own small business. Please consider also my long term commitment to the volunteer needs of our community.

I will continue to communicate to you my vision for this city, and to provide convenient access to information about my background and experience so you can make an informed decision on the best candidate for this critically important job.
