Key Priorities
Elm Grove has a long history of volunteerism. John embraces that philosophy and his number one priority is keeping Elm Grove the safe, friendly and quaint community it has always been. He believes that redevelopment is very much needed, but that it must fit the character and unique aesthetic of our community.
John believes more pedestrian pathways are needed along major arterials so that children can safely travel to and from school, everyone can safely walk or jog to downtown or the Village Park.
