Environment.

A great community protects the environment while fostering an appreciation for the beauty of nature. My family enjoys boating on both Delavan and Geneva Lake.  I am also a Board Member of the Delavan Lake Improvement Association and Chair of the Lake Committee, through my role as a Delavan Town Supervisor. I support policies and actively work to protect and preserve our lakes, rivers, and waterways. These policies will result in restoring local control to counties, in order to better manage shoreline construction, as well as fully funding the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), so trees can be planted to protect fish habitats from warming temperatures. 

The DNR should protect our natural resources rather than the interests of business, which is why I fully support funding for an independent DNR, whose chief administrator should have a natural resources background. I will work actively to address these issues by voting for bills that protect our water quality, in addition to addressing unsafe drinking water conditions.
