Inga's Priorities:
Unifying Leadership
As Mayor, Inga will bring a "softer, gentler" form of leadership to City Hall—one that seeks to heal divides rather than deepen them. Inga believes that local government works best when it is nonpartisan and inclusive, focusing on the values that connect us rather than the politics that pull us apart. Her goal is to foster an environment of mutual respect where every resident’s voice carries weight, ensuring that our community remains a place of harmony and collaborative progress.
Safety and Infrastructure
Inga’s vision for our streets is simple: they should be safe, quiet, and accessible for every generation. From implementing smart traffic-calming measures to improving sidewalk connectivity, her Safety & Infrastructure plan prioritizes the pedestrian experience over through-traffic. Whether it’s a child walking to school or a senior enjoying a morning stroll, Inga is committed to ensuring our physical environment reflects our commitment to a high quality of life and a peaceful neighborhood atmosphere.
Affordability
Inga understands that for our community to thrive, it must remain livable for everyone. Her platform on Affordability is a two-pronged approach: working tirelessly to find budget efficiencies that lower property taxes while actively preserving our existing affordable housing stock. Inga is dedicated to protecting the financial well-being of our residents, ensuring that long-term neighbors aren't priced out and that the unique character of our town remains accessible to all who call it home.
Community First
The core of Inga’s candidacy is a promise to put Community First. For Inga, the people of PV are the ultimate stakeholders, and their needs will always take precedence over outside interests or bureaucracy. As Mayor, she will lead with a human-centric approach, making decisions based on how they impact the daily lives of families and individuals. For Inga, being Mayor isn't about the title—it’s about serving the people who make this town the special place it is.
Focus on policies that advance Prairie Village as a leader in sustainability
During Inga's time on the Council the City of Prairie Village made great strides in advancing sustainability in a number of ways. Here are just a few examples:
* Building a high efficiency Public Works facility
* Creation of the Sustainability grant program
* Flood prevention measures along Brush creek
* Installing a number of electric charging stations throughout PV
Support our local small businesses and area merchants
Our wonderful local businesses are one of the reasons Prairie Village is such a desirable place to live. The owners of these businesses have invested their passion and talents into our community to provide us with award winning restaurants, services, and products. Inga supports policy that supports them.
Stand by our Police Department and City Staff
Our Police Department and City Staff are the backbone of our community. The dedication they have to the residents in our community is second to none. The culture within the departments is welcoming, transparent, and inclusive. Prairie Village is lucky to have such wonderful government employees.
