Most important issues: While all issues facing Homewood are important, they ultimately connect to one central priority: preserving property values to protect our most valuable assets — our homes. As a Realtor, I bring a unique perspective to the table, understanding how decisions on economic development, fiscal responsibility, and community engagement directly impact property values. Thoughtful economic growth is essential to creating a vibrant community that attracts residents and businesses, while fiscal responsibility ensures taxpayer dollars are used wisely to support necessary services and infrastructure. Community engagement and open communication between residents and the village foster trust and transparency, making Homewood a desirable place to live. By focusing on preserving property values, we not only protect individual investments but also strengthen the foundation of our community for future generations. My professional experience uniquely equips me to prioritize and address these critical issues with a balanced and informed approach.
Top goals: Preserving property values by supporting thoughtful development and maintaining the charm and appeal of Homewood while also working closely with our schools. I will work to encourage sustainable economic growth that benefits both residents and local businesses. Ensuring fiscal responsibility is also a priority, as it is essential to making sound decisions that protect taxpayers while investing in the future of our community. Additionally, I am committed to improving communication between the village and residents to ensure transparency and foster trust. Community engagement will remain a central focus, as it is key to building a strong, connected, and inclusive Homewood where everyone feels valued and heard. Through these efforts, I aim to continue supporting the growth and prosperity of our village while preserving the qualities that make Homewood such a special place to live and raise a family.
