Clayton is my home.
As a long-time Clayton resident and volunteer,
I want to build Clayton’s future on community engagement, economic growth, sustainable
development, and the strength of our wonderful neighborhoods. Transparency, accountability,
and engagement are key to creating a thriving Clayton that works for all.
I grew up in Wisconsin and moved to Clayton in 1984. Having lived in downtown Clayton, Clayton Gardens, Davis Place, the Moorlands, and now Wydown Terrace, I have experienced firsthand the charm and unique character of
many of our wonderful Clayton neighborhoods. I am married and have five adult children — all graduates of Clayton schools.

of downtown Clayton
is a good thing — so is
preserving the charm
of our neighborhoods
and the small
commercial nodes
in those neighborhoods.
It’s a balance.”
