Patricia has a long track record of service in the communities in which she has lived. She first ran for Portage City Council in 2009, as an advocate for change, after she and her husband successfully won a property tax case against the city. After learning a great deal about Michigan Property Tax Law and Assessing, she realized the unfair accessing practices, which she incurred, were widespread throughout the city. It was this issue that propelled her to first run for office. Patricia has fearlessly taken on many issues within City Hall to make it a better community for all to work, live and play.
