I was 16 years old when I started working at the London Bridge Resort — as a housekeeper. I didn’t grow up politically connected. I just showed up, worked hard, and built my life here in Lake Havasu City, one year at a time.
Over the decades that followed, I rose to Vice President and General Manager of that same resort — learning the city’s economy from the inside out, and developing a deep commitment to the community that gave me everything.
In 2025, I was inducted into the Arizona Tourism Hall of Fame — a recognition I’ll always be proud of, not because of what it says about me, but because of what it says about what Lake Havasu City has become.
Two terms as your Mayor. Balanced budgets. $5.7 million returned to taxpayers. A seat at the water authority table. Parks built. Streets paved. Havasu protected.
I’m not asking you to take a chance. I’m asking you to look at the record.
