My journey in public service is marked by tangible achievements: 19 consecutive years of balanced budgets, safeguarding our county's financial health, and maintaining essential services even in tough times. My tenure as a Fire District Director and School Board Trustee has given me a broad perspective on the diverse needs of our community, from public safety to education.

I am passionate about preserving our cherished open spaces and agricultural lands, vital to our county's heritage and future. My hands-on experience in small business, agriculture, family matters, and community engagement forms the bedrock of my approach to leadership.
