Focused Leadership on What Matters
“This election is not just about listing priorities. It’s about asking – how will you make decisions in the future? I will listen, engage the public, gather facts, bring people together and make the decisions that best serves the public. I have the experience to build consensus, make difficult decisions, and deliver results.”
WHY I’M RUNNING
I am running to keep Fremont County fiscally responsible, provide reliable services, protect local control and help our community navigate some very real financial and governance challenges.
Counties are experiencing increasing pressure from state government, limited funding, and growing demands for services. These challenges require experienced leadership, practical problem-solving, and a commitment to protecting local decision-making.
I see our biggest challenge as funding uncertainty. We need to maintain key services while finding efficiencies, partnerships and new opportunities.
I am committed to ensuring that important decision are made with strong public engagement, and responsive to local people.
WHAT I BELIEVE
I believe county government should be:
Transparent, accessible and accountable to residents
Focused on delivering essential services efficiently and effectively
Financially responsible with taxpayer dollars
Willing to work with others to solve problems and seize opportunities
I believe public engagement helps build better public policy.
My approach: listen, bring people together, work hard, find practical solutions and focus on results.
MY PRIORITIES FOR FREMONT COUNTY

Effective County Services
The county's primary responsibility is delivering services to residents. I will focus on maintaining efficient, reliable services while continuously looking for ways to improve performance and value.
Protect Local Control
Local decisions should be made by local people whenever possible. I will be a strong advocate for Fremont County and work to ensure our community's voice is heard.

I also want to hear from from you!
