STATEMENT OF INTEREST <br />Members of the Louisville City Council <br />749 Main St. <br />Louisville, CO 80027 <br />Dear Mayor Stolzmann, Mayor Pro Tem Maloney, Councilmember Dickinson, Councilmember <br />Leh, Councilmember Fahey, and Councilmember Lipton: <br />Please accept my application to be a member of the Louisville City Council from Ward III. With <br />my lifelong connection to Louisville and extensive experience in local, state, and federal <br />government, I would be an excellent choice to fill the current vacancy on the city council. <br />My Story <br />My family and I have been members of the Louisville community nearly my entire life. My <br />parents moved to Ward III after purchasing their first home when I was just one year old. I <br />attended Coal Creek Elementary, Fireside Elementary, and Louisville Middle School. I have <br />fond memories of attending the fireworks every 4th of July, playing rec center soccer, and <br />attending Louisville Dolphins swim meets. <br />My wife and I are proud to be raising our kids in Louisville. Like my parents decades before, we <br />purchased our first house in Ward III six years ago, and our family is fortunate to benefit from <br />everything our city has to offer. I want to make sure Louisville continues to be the best place to <br />live and to raise a family. <br />My Experience <br />I have devoted my career to public service and making life better for families in Colorado and <br />across the country. I've advised U.S. Senators and Colorado's Governor on health care, <br />education, economic security, and other issues. My work to make health care more affordable <br />has gained national attention. I have also been honored to serve as a member of Louisville's <br />Local Licensing Authority. I hope to utilize my public policy expertise and passion for serving <br />my community as a member of the city council. <br />My Interest <br />More than any other level of government, city government makes decisions that impact people's <br />everyday lives. Louisville's city council doesn't have the luxury of getting bogged down in <br />partisan arguments because residents rely on city services every day. The work of the city <br />council helps ensure that my kids can get to school safely each morning, our family has clean <br />water to drink, and that we protect our environment for generations to come. <br />6 <br />
