About Cody

Leader

I have been active in leadership roles since 2018. I’ve been the Alderperson for Ward 7 since 2023 and, before that, I served as the Student Body President at UW-Stout.

Problem Solver

As a software engineer by trade and a working IT professional, I have an instinct for breaking down large problems and coming up with innovative solutions.

Determined

I am 24 years old and I’m running for office to help build a better world for current generations, as well as our future kids and grandkids.

My Values

How I plan to lead

Communication

By listening to our neighbors, I will work to achieve better outcomes for Menomonie taxpayers.

Transparency

By sharing information about plans and projects, I will work to ensure everyone can know what their city government is doing.

Accountability

Government serves the people. My door, phone, and inbox will always be open, and I am happy to chat about ideas, questions, or complaints.

My Work

What I've Done

Launched Menomonie's first budget survey to hear directly from you about your tax dollars.
Started a Facebook page to keep you informed on what I'm doing on City Council.
Supported efforts to increase communications from the city via web and social media, including the hiring of a new communication specialist.
Advocated for additional pedestrian safety measures on South Broadway, leading to the installation of new pedestrian signage near Kwik Trip & UW-Stout.
