Statement
As your County Assessor and having been raised in Franklin County my focus is to deliver consistency, transparency, and professional service you can trust.

Since taking office in 2021, we have strengthened training, improved consistency in valuations, and implemented clear standards that promote fairness and accountability. We have enhanced internal processes, increased responsiveness to taxpayers, and built one of the most professional and highly trained assessor offices in Washington State.

I have worked with the Washington State Association of County Assessors to support responsible tax policy—advocating for fair and sustainable property tax relief, improved exemption programs for seniors, individuals with disabilities, farmers, and small business owners.

These efforts ensure property values are applied equitably, reduce errors, and build public confidence in the system. I remain focused on steady leadership, proven results, and doing the job right.

I am honored to have received Endorsements from over 30 current County Assessors from across Washington, Appraisers Union Local 2658 F AFSCME AFL-CIO and public service professionals, reflecting confidence in my leadership and professionalism.

I remain committed to serving with integrity, accountability, and respect for every taxpayer. I would be honored to continue serving as your County Assessor.
