"Nicole and I served together on the Clay County DFL board together, we currently serve on Planning Commission together and we are part of the same running group.
I am supporting Nicole because she is one of the smartest people I know. Her research of the topics, whether it be voting trends in a given community, or the best running shoe are thorough and trustworthy.
She has a compassionate way of communicating with individuals in the community, especially as Chair of Planning Commission. She balances both compassion and logic, and does an excellent job of ensuring that the voices that need to be heard, are included in the process. She ensures that the language we use is inclusive and does not provide an undue barrier to participation. She focuses on effectiveness and efficiencies, as well as increased participation."

Lindsie Schoenack, Moorhead Planning Commission
"I met Nicole in my campaign for City Council. We became friends and I have been lucky to have her as a strong pair of shoulders during hard times, a sounding wall, and a friend who helps me stay nourished and informed.
Nicole is incredibly smart and always thinking deeply about the effects of our actions today on our shared future. She's organized, well informed, and a policy nerd. She wants systems and planning that supports everyone's success and ability to thrive."
