Other facts

I am running for the BOCC to restore effective leadership and fiscal responsibility in order to build a stronger, more diversified economy. As a planner, I led teams of professionals to achieve a variety of goals, working with government and interested stakeholders within the community. As a business owner I made tough choices in order to stay within defined budgets and to make a profit. I plan to bring the leadership skills that I have acquired working within the public and private sector to the County Commission, and work full time to insure that our quality of life, including good jobs for our citizens, is protected and enhanced.
