Dear Lake Country,

For the kindness that you’ve all shown to me and my family when we moved to Lake Country and since. For the encouragement that you gave when I was considering running for Council. For the support that you offered in conversations, in the candidate forums, or just an email during the campaign. And for choosing me to represent our community… Thank you. 

In the next few years, we will shape the path of Lake Country. We’ll work to build our community road by road, sidewalk by sidewalk, business by business. We’ll continue to make Lake Country a place that all newcomers learn quickly that being a member here means we have each other’s back. We will welcome growth and build our infrastructure. All while still waving to each other when passing on the street. All while still dancing together in the summer on Friday evenings.

There’s an old African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”. Together. That’s what I think of when I think of Lake Country. 

I love this community.
