More about stacy
My husband and I moved to Savage in 2009 and have lived here for over 17 years now - crazy! As our two daughters were born and our family has grown, so has my commitment to the community where they are growing up.
I believe local government works best when leaders are prepared, engaged, willing to listen, and focused on the long-term interests of the community. I bring a combination of professional, civic, and community experience to my work on Savage City Council. My professional background is in civil engineering and business development, including work focused on funding and complex projects. I am a registered civil engineer in Minnesota. That experience has taught me how to evaluate challenges, understand financial considerations, bring people together, and think about long-term outcomes. I have also served on the Savage Planning Commission and other community boards, giving me experience with the planning and regional partnerships that affect our community.
As a City Council member, I have been directly involved in the decisions and conversations shaping Savage's future - from public safety and transportation to parks, downtown planning, economic development, city operations, and responsible growth. I also serve as the Savage representative on the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority (MVTA) Board.
In my "spare time" I coach youth club volleyball, where I have learned many of the same lessons that apply to leadership: preparation matters, teamwork matters, communication matters, and progress does not always happen overnight.
I am running for reelection because I love our community and I believe Savage has important work ahead. I know where we have been over the past 4 years and I understand where we are now. I am ready to keep working on what comes next. I would be honored to continue serving Savage for a second term.
