The most fundamental purpose of a local government is to provide infrastructure. Investing in our infrastructure helps us two-fold: it makes our lives easier and ensures that we give our future generations a well-run government.

Whether you choose to go to college, trade school, or any other path, we must make sure that people who live here can work here by investing in the workforce. I will act to add more workforce development programs through creative partnerships with our businesses, education partners, and other governments.

When making decisions, we need to think about the long term.  We need to plan and act to make a better County and planet for future generations. I will work to make Washington County more sustainable community where we are stewards of our environment, our assets, and our community.

We create a good County when everyone is at the table crafting policy. That starts with cultivating trust with community members through consistent engagement and making people feel involved our community’s direction. I will work to create meaningful opportunities and transparent communication. When more people help with molding policies, we create a stronger community.

I have a lot of ideas of what we can do to make things better, but my goal is to work with every resident to better Washington County. I want to get ideas from everyone in the community. It is inevitable that we will face unexpected issues. When that happens, I will make sure I inform myself and get input from everyone around me so we can make the best choices together.
