I saw a motto in the front building that read \u201cOne Town, One Team, One Dream\u201d and then it hit me \u2014 this is what I feel when I think of our town as a whole.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">We are one. We all want what is best for our future and our children\u2019s future. Having two kids in Basalt schools was definitely a driver for me to run for Town Council.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In extraordinary times it has become clearer to me why I am running for Town Council. When I was 28 years old, I was a single mom with two young boys. I worked hard for them every day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Part of that was because I have a really strong work ethic that I learned from my mom and dad, who were both blue-collar workers. There were times in my life that have been very challenging, but I\u2019ve always risen up to every challenge in my life even when there were times when I wanted to give up. I\u2019m telling you this because this is a part of my character that I pride myself on and I want you to know that if I am elected as one of your town councilors I will always work hard and never give up, even when our opinions differ.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<div class=\"row at-donation p-0\">\n<div class=\"col-xl-4 p-2\">\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png)\" class=\"p-0 mt-2 mb-2 h-75 text-center rocket-lazyload\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/AT-logo-white.png\" class=\"logo m-0 p-0 invisible\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-bg=\"url(https:\/\/cdn.aspentimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/03\/at-banner-paypal.jpg)\" class=\"col-xl-8 p-3 text-center rocket-lazyload\">\n<h3 class=\"d-inline mr-3\">Support Local Journalism<\/h3>\n<p><button class=\"btn d-inline\" type=\"button\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/donate\/?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=news%20article&amp;utm_campaign=donation\">Donate<\/a><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">If I am elected, I believe working with the community is the best way to ensure the efforts at creating a more vibrant Basalt. My hope would be that we can create a youth center for our kids and giving our elderly the opportunity to age in place safely by working to create more affordable housing not just for our seniors but for anyone who aspires to live here. I believe these things are possible while maintaining Basalt\u2019s charm and character.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Lastly, I will always be an ear to listen and provide a voice to you and to our community. It is my belief that it is time for fresh ideas, and new perspective. I hope all of you are staying healthy and connected during this unprecedented time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Don\u2019t forget to vote and let your voice be heard!<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\">Editor\u2019s note: Leading up to the Basalt election April 7, The Aspen Times is publishing one guest commentary from each candidate.
