LIVE In-person Meet & Greet
Saturday, March 15th - 9:00 - 11:00 am (central)
2545 Bulverde Road, Bulverde (The Makery)
Join me for breakfast/brunch! I'm setting aside some time to meet with you face-to-face and hear first hand what's important to you... and I'm providing donuts, fruit, and breakfast-y snacks to "sweeten" the invitation. Bottom line: I know all the reasons I decided to run for office ... but it's just as important to know your thoughts about priorities in our community over the next few years. What can we be doing now to lay a good foundation for the future?
​
So join me (and my husband Nick!) around the Gathering Table in our art studio The Makery and let's break bread together! No RSVP necessary - just pull up a chair!.
LIVE Virtual Meet & Greet
Wednesday, March 12th at 6:30 pm (central)
Join me online for a virtual meet & greet, where I'll introduce myself and continue the conversation about issues that are important to Bulverde citizens.
​
This broadcast: OPERATIONS.
​
When I talk with friends in the construction industry - or even folks who are trying to do non-construction things that require City approval - the nearly universal comment I get, "Man, the City is a real pain in the asterisk to deal with."
​
When I dig deeper, it turns out there are multiple possible reasons, but a lot of them involve operational issues: the process isn't clear, or consistent; the information or guidance wasn't correct; there are conflicting ordinances that impact the project and no clear way forward.
​
Join me for a live, online discussion about how we're undertaking the actual work of the City, what tools we can use to reduce the friction our community feels when dealing with the City, and how and why it is critical to get the operational piece of this really right.

Join me for lunch! I'm brown-bagging it this Thursday and setting aside some time to meet with you face-to-face and hear first hand what's important to you. I know all the reasons I decided to run for office ... but it's just as important to know your thoughts about priorities in our community over the next few years. What can we be doing now to lay a good foundation for the future?

LIVE Virtual Meet & Greet
Tuesday, March 4th at 6:30 pm (central)
Join me online for my initial campaign broadcast, where I'll introduce myself and start the conversation about issues that are important to Bulverde citizens.
​
This broadcast: DEVELOPMENT.
​
This is - hands down - the number one concern expressed by Bulverde residents. Last year, the City undertook an ambitious reworking of its Comprehensive Plan, and the comments were overwhelmingly against more high-density development and in favor of projects and policies that honor our community's character and history.
​
Join me for a live, online discussion about development in our area, how past decisions are going to impact the tools we can use to fight the challenges we're facing, and what we can do about it moving forward.
