Election day is TUESDAY, NOV. 8th!
Info on the at-large city council candidates
I am committed to Northfield. I filed as a candidate for the Northfield City Council At-Large seat in the Nov. 8th election.
My most recent board position was on the Northfield Convention and Visitors Bureau. The CVB's main task is to bring visitors to Northfield. I believe the City Council should be much like the CVB and should do much more to attract businesses to the City. I have been very disheartened when I see the City Council vote completely against the Planning Commission that spent 2 years taking testimony from witnesses that have a stake in the Land Development Code. It is also disappointing when the Chairman of the Charter Commission resigns and says "that is it embarrassing" to be a member of an appointed committee. Something needs to change!The City Council needs to be seen as a way for businesses to locate in Northfield instead of a roadblock to growth.I will have a learning curve for City business details but I have attended enough City Council meetings to understand the process.

I would really appreciate your support in the election.
