Us leaving the house!

Today was the first day I canvassed the neighborhoods in my district. I got out a map on my phone and started in and around my neighborhood. My two daughters helped me hand out flyers and talk to the folks!

I had some great conversations, many well wishes and greetings, and met a lot of dogs!

This is definitely the way to find out what’s important to my constituents. From the library to fracking to the new housing developments coming in to education and the police and much more, I heard from you! This is the only way I’m going to find out if I don’t knock and listen.

I appreciate all the wonderful conversations I had and well wishes. I loved meeting the neighbors and learning about them and their lives. It was truly a privilege today and I can’t wait to continue this tomorrow and every day until I’m either out of flyers or have hit all my constituents!

Town Board Candidates Orientation…

by jendionne10, posted in Election Story

Last night, the candidates for Town Board were briefed by the heads of all the departments of the Town of Windsor.  From the Acting Town Manager to the Director of Public Works, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Culture to the Chief of Police, everyone was kind enough to brief us on their multi-faceted fields.

I was thoroughly impressed.  Many of these heads have decades of experience in Windsor and know their jobs inside and out.  Consummate professionals, all stayed late to help us understand their function in keeping the Town of Windsor running smoothly.

All the employees of the Town of Windsor have one thing in common:  love of community.  You could sense the pride they all hold for this Town and their role in it as they spoke.  I feel overwhelmingly blessed to live in such an amazing, beautiful, and caring place.

I would be honored to be entrusted by the amazing citizens of this Town to continue the good work that has been done and is being done by all the public officials who make this Town great.  I would be dedicated to this task with all my heart and soul.

My Vision for the Town of Windsor and Beyond…

If elected, my primary goal is to make your life easier.  We are pulled in so many directions these days that the last thing you want to worry about is how your Town is doing.  My job will be to listen to your feedback and to manage Windsor’s challenges in a fiscally responsible manner.  Fostering community events, managing traffic and construction concerns, promoting more affordable housing and business growth, and maintaining quality education and amenities are my top priorities.

Water.  Air quality.  The Mill.  Rocky Mountain Sports Park.  Raindance.  All huge and at times complex undertakings that it takes months (even years) to address.  My goal is to address these for you.  From the big picture to the little details I’ll put in the work so you all can enjoy your precious free time more when you’re out and about in Windsor and beyond.

Your litmus test and my definition of success:  Town matters run so smoothly you are unaware of their implementations.

Your job: enjoy all that Windsor offers!!

Why I’m Running for Town Board…

by jendionne10, posted in Election Story

0106181029b.jpgWhen I tell people I’m running for Windsor’s Town Board, I often get a quizzical look.

“Why?”

Well, I’ll tell you why.

First and foremost, it’s about giving back.  I’ve been so very blessed in my life, and I feel giving of my time, effort, and energy to the Town of Windsor would be something I could do to help others and continue to support such an amazing community I live in.

When we moved here almost three years ago, I knew almost immediately that this was a special place.  Something inside of me wanted to do something to show my appreciation and gratitude.  However, I had no idea how to begin (can we say Google 🙂 ).  Soon, I discovered the volunteer boards of the Town of Windsor and quickly signed on.  I have served on the Parks, Recreation & Culture Advisory Board here in Windsor and currently serve on the Board of Adjustment/Appeals.  These are wonderful places to learn more about our Town and great service opportunities.

Second, I think Windsor has done a great job in managing growth.  With my finance background, I see my role as ensuring Windsor grows fiscally responsibly and in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan.  My priorities include keeping the small-town feel and community of Windsor as we grow into one of the most desired and affordable places to live in Northern Colorado.  My door will always be open to my constituents and what they think and feel regarding Windsor’s policies moving forward.  Fostering community events, managing traffic and construction concerns, promoting more affordable housing and business growth, and maintaining quality education and amenities are my top priorities.

Third and finally, the time is right.  My kids are older and I have more of myself to give to others.  I’m eager to help, eager to serve, eager to listen, eager to make a difference in my community.

So here I am!!!  With the answer to your question.

I’m super excited for this opportunity and possibility of making a difference in others’ lives.  Please feel free to email me or comment below with anything on your mind!

I’m Grateful I Can Run for Town Board…

by jendionne10, posted in Election Story

This is my first foray into any type of public office.  It’s been on my heart for a while now and the timing is right.

So far, it’s been fun.  I’ve learned a ton about what’s happening in Windsor, CO (the greatest place to live in my humble opinion).  I’ve met some amazing people.  I’ve opened up to new opportunities, experiences, and events.

I’m extremely grateful I live in a country such as the United States where I can run for public office and represent others who put their trust in me.  It’s extremely humbling and amazing all at the same time.

I want to thank all of my supporters for such an opportunity.

Win or lose this has been an amazing ride!
