Back in 1984, my brother and his family moved from Kansas to St. Charles County. At the time, I was living in Maryland Heights and I asked him, "Why do you live way out there?" He told me it was a peaceful area and a nice place to raise a family. To be honest, I thought my brother was nuts because at the time, St. Charles County was too far away and too rural in my mind. Experience quickly proved me wrong.

Representing and living in District 2 in southwest St. Charles County is rewarding for many reasons. One big reason is that Historic Missouri Wine Country is blessed with four St. Charles County Parks that are open to the public. Along with regular amenities like pavilions, hiking/biking trails, camping, and fishing, these parks provide a home to local wildlife. This population includes a large number of deer that I feel creates safety issues for drivers in this well-traveled area.

From big events to everyday traffic management, Gateway Green Light, or GGL, is working behind the scenes in St. Charles County to keep you moving.
