POLICY & VALUES
In my conversations with neighbors, one overarching theme has risen to the top: We all want the best for Broomfield. Most of us truly love this place we call home and want assurance that we are on a path to thrive in the coming years.
​
Broomfield is doing a lot of things right and we also have a lot of opportunities for improvement. The 2025 Community Survey continued the trend of showing that residents feel they are receiving high-quality municipal services. We also highly value our recreational amenities, though I'm sure it's no surprise to you that we love our open spaces, trails, and parks! As I've studied the survey results over time, the question that has come to mind for me is, "Who is Broomfield?" With more people living in Broomfield than ever before, I think we will need to grapple with that question if we are to implement programs and policy that serve the needs of all. We can't do this without you! ​Our local government needs to understand your concerns, challenges, and hopes for Broomfield. I would be thrilled if you visit my 'Suggestion Box' and let me know what's on your mind and maybe together we can work to advocate for these issues over the next 4 years.
​
As a seasoned leader, I am no stranger to difficult decisions. I know you can never please everybody, though with dedication, a lot of conversations, and out-of-the-box thinking, compromise is possible. I will be a stalwart champion for you and ask a lot of questions along the way to encourage careful consideration of the risks and trade-offs now and for the future.​
We must be good stewards of the land we live on. In the coming years, we have to build out smart, community-based solutions that promote ecological balance to prepare for diminishing natural resources and increased threats from our climate and weather.
Environmental Sustainability
Our community events are beloved. From Broomfield Days to craft meetups at the Library's inventHQ, we need to continue nurturing opportunities for connection, large and small. When we come together as neighbors, Broomfield feels like our home - not just the place where our house is physically located.
Belonging & Community
Broomfield has seen a lot of change over the last decade. Balancing thoughtful growth with keeping our small town feel is vital to preserving both our economic vitality and our way of life. Like the much-anticipated Broomfield Town Square, we need to blend what makes us special with the increasing infrastructure demands.
Preserve our Charm
Like the adage, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," we need to invest in proactive risk management if we are to maintain an affordable, high quality of life. Public Works, Public Health, and Public Safety are just a few areas that must be prioritized in a time when we have to make hard budget decisions.
