Why I’m Running for At-Large City Council in Twinsburg
Last week, I officially pulled my petitions from the Summit County Board of Elections to run for an At-Large seat on Twinsburg City Council. My decision to run came after months of conversations with family, neighbors, and local business owners. It came after listening to stories, history, hopes and dreams. It came after taking steps to better understand where we are and where we can go. I see a bright future for Twinsburg, along with many of you. There is opportunity to strengthen economic development, build programming in our downtown, and be more united as a community.
I’m running because I believe in a better-connected, more vibrant Twinsburg.
Twinsburg is already a special place—but we can’t take that for granted. We need leadership that will preserve what makes this city great, while bringing new energy and vision for the future.
Family-Friendly Initiatives
Many residents don’t realize that Twinsburg Square—our historic city center—is owned and operated by Twinsburg Township. Because of this, we’ve missed opportunities to activate the space with more inclusive, family-focused programming. Imagine a weekly farmers market, outdoor concerts on the green, kids activities, art fairs, a rotating food truck night, or even ice cream socials under the stars.
These ideas aren’t just “nice-to-haves”—they're foundational to community identity and local pride. That’s why I’m committed to strengthening the City’s relationship with the Township. Let’s move beyond boundaries and work together for the good of all residents.
Smart Growth with Purpose
Twinsburg can’t afford to sit on the sidelines while surrounding cities push forward with new development. The long-discussed property behind Chase Bank is a prime opportunity for us to shape a true mixed-use destination—one that could feature shops, dining, a community plaza, and housing that fits our character and need.
As a Council member, I won’t wait for ideas to come to us. I’ll work with the Administration to attract the right developers and welcome them with the kind of energy and clarity that shows why Twinsburg is worth the investment. Highway access, strong schools, beautiful parks, engaged residents—we have the full package. Now it’s time to tell that story boldly and work toward results that lift us all.
Support for Local Business
It’s time to listen to our business community. Business owners invest here. They pay taxes, they hire our residents, and they contribute to the fabric of Twinsburg life. In my first weeks of campaigning, I’ve spoken with multiple downtown business owners to better understand how the City can be a stronger partner and how they can provide more for our residents. From collaborative marketing to year-round events that drive foot traffic, we can do more to help them succeed. And when our businesses thrive, our entire community thrives.
Fresh Perspective, Grounded in Service
I respect the work that has been done by Council members before me. I also believe this is the right moment for a fresh perspective. I want to bring new ideas, collaborative energy, and a community-first mindset to the table.
Let’s embrace our history—like the croquet matches and bandstand concerts that once brought neighbors together—and reimagine those traditions in a way that fit Twinsburg today. Let’s be proactive. Let’s build a city that works for young families, seniors, and everyone in between.
I’m Running Because This City Matters
This campaign is about listening. It’s about leadership that asks the right questions, and works toward practical solutions. I don’t pretend to have all the answers—but I do know how to bring people together. Twinsburg deserves options. It deserves a voice that understands where we’ve been—and where we’re going. That’s why I’m running!
If you’re a resident, a business owner, or someone who simply wants more from their city leadership—I invite you to connect. Share your ideas, concerns, and hopes for our future. Let’s build a better Twinsburg—together.
