Statement
I will continue to use my Skills and Experience to improve the Quality of Life for our senior citizens, youth, families, and veterans. It is written the ideal county commissioner should have experience in Finance, Budgeting, Communications, and Personnel. I am the only candidate that has the education and Extensive Financial and Business Experience needed to help ensure that your taxpayer money is being used in the best possible way, and taxes are NOT increased unnecessarily. I have a proven record of saving taxpayer’s 1000’s of dollars in taxes annually. I support our Police and Fire Fighters making sure they have the proper tools to ensure Exceptional Public Safety.
