Job Creator, Public Servant, Business Leader
About Me
My husband of 26 years, David and I have five children who have all attended CMU. We love living in Grand Junction and are working to create businesses and opportunities
that will help our Grand Valley be a great place to live and work. I am a business owner and a JOB CREATOR - not just an investor. My three businesses employ over 100
employees and serve over 100,000 customers annually, all of which I manage. I have been active and engaged in the Chamber of Commerce for seven years, bringing jobs to
GJ. I partner with local businesses and nonprofits, and consistently serve on at least three volunteer boards/positions to better our community.
Business Development and Housing
The cost of opening new businesses and the lack of affordable housing for employees are equally challenging. Traffic Impact Fees and commercial Planning Clearance
Fees are prohibitive for new businesses to open. AND Building Fees, Impact Fees and residential Planning Clearance Fees are driving the lack of affordable housing
for our current residents and for businesses trying to recruit new employees. I will work hard to restructure/reduce City fees AND offer solutions like financial incentives attached to deed restrictions to address affordable housing. The City’s most important role should be to provide Core Services and then stay out of the way and provide a business-friendly environment by limiting costs and regulation as much as possible.
