Ellie McLoone for La Crosse Mayor
As a realtor with lifelong roots in La Crosse, I see our community from every angle. Every day, I am reminded why I love La Crosse. I also see the tremendous untapped potential to make La Crosse the unrivaled destination in Wisconsin for everyone from young families and senior citizens to small business owners.
That is why I am running for Mayor of La Crosse—to address the challenges our great city faces and take advantage of all the opportunities we have to make La Crosse an even more special place to call home, now and long into the future.
We need a leader with experience working with the diverse citizenry of La Crosse to find solutions to our most pressing problems:
- Homelessness
- Mental health
- Addiction
- Public safety
In addition to my experience as a realtor and small business owner, I have been a dedicated member of civic organizations including IrishFest, the Heritage Preservation Commission and Bluffside Neighborhood Association. Through these experiences I have seen the great potential our city holds.
This service has also reinforced the common-sense priorities that I learned growing up here in La Crosse. Priorities like being a good steward of taxpayer dollars, ensuring public safety, providing affordable housing, controlling property taxes so our seniors can afford to stay in their homes, and fixing our roads.
Today we have an ongoing homelessness problem, roads in desperate need of repair, and excessive taxes. But our city’s current leadership chose to make a bicycle byway through downtown a top priority, which became its own boondoggle. We can do better.
I’m running for mayor because I love our great city and its people, and I know how great we can be with the right leadership. Will you join me?
