Spent the last two mornings volunteering at the Knights of Columbus booth at the Special Olympics USA Games at Huntington Bank Stadium.

Had a great time meeting athletes, families, volunteers, and visitors from all over the country. The energy and enthusiasm were incredible.

Also got to meet Crunch from the Timberwolves!
Minnesota should be proud of the job being done to host these Games.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success and congratulations to all of the athletes competing here in Minnesota!

Housing affordability matters.

A recent study estimates that government regulations at the federal, state, and local levels account for more than one-quarter of the cost of a newly built home.

Reasonable regulations are important. We need building codes that protect public safety, infrastructure standards that ensure quality development, and environmental protections that are based on sound science and common sense.

At the same time, policymakers should continually review regulations to ensure they are actually serving the public interest and not simply adding unnecessary costs, delays, and barriers to homeownership.

As a City Councilmember, I believe government should focus on protecting public safety and maintaining core services while avoiding unnecessary burdens that make it harder for families to afford a home.

Affordable housing starts with increasing supply, reducing unnecessary obstacles to construction, and making sure regulations are accomplishing their intended purpose.

What are your thoughts?

Government regulations add more than $130,000 to the cost of a newly built single-family home in the United States, according to a new study.

Today I attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new SaveStation AED at the Sand Creek Athletic Complex.

This project was made possible through a partnership between the North Star Lions Club, Play for Patrick, the C**n Rapids Fire Department Community Fund, and the City of C**n Rapids.

An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can mean the difference between life and death when someone suffers sudden cardiac arrest. By making this equipment publicly accessible at one of our community's busiest athletic facilities, we are improving safety for athletes, families, and visitors.

Thank you to the many volunteers, donors, community leaders, and public safety professionals who helped make this project a reality. Partnerships like these demonstrate what can be accomplished when organizations work together for the benefit of our community.

We hope it is never needed, but if that day comes, this AED could help save a life.

Community strength... for generations.

Join us for Custard & Conversation!

One of the best parts of serving on the City Council is hearing directly from residents. Whether you have questions, concerns, ideas, or simply want to talk about the future of C**n Rapids, I hope you'll stop by.

There is no formal agenda and no speeches—just an opportunity to visit with your elected officials, enjoy some frozen custard, and share your thoughts about our community.

I look forward to seeing you on June 27 at Culver's with Pat Carlson for Mayor and Brian Armstrong City Council Member Ward 5.

Councilmember, Ward 3

Great evening at Summer in the City at Crooked Lake Park!

Thank you to everyone who came out, and to the City staff, Police Department, Fire Department, and volunteers who helped make the event possible.

It was wonderful to see so many residents enjoying a beautiful Minnesota evening together.
