MY STORY —

Decades of sales and business management experience, I believe, is what has primed me for public service as your District One Delta County Commissioner. Relationship building and fact-based decision-making have been keys to my success. Along with a special appreciation for small business, I believe my life experiences have taught me how essential it is to listen to the needs of people and apply my skills to serve without bias. Delta County has, for far too long, been governed by special interests and personal agendas.

I'm running to fill an obvious need for trust, vision and balance in our local government. As a former Delta County Planning Commissioner, I learned much about the inner-workings of land use in our county, knowledge that is invaluable for the job of County Commissioner.

Lately, I have been soliciting input from county residents — retirees, small business owners, winemakers and many others. I have sensed what I’ll call ‘economic envy’ — folks wish there was a little more money changing hands and a higher standard of living. At the same time, they want Delta County to remain just as it is; a rural, agricultural, quiet, wonderful place to live. This is a very tricky balancing act.

As I see it, the best way to accommodate both desires are through a sensible plan of land use and fair, smart regulations for future development, including solar farms.

During my years on the Planning Commission a Master Plan was developed followed by a set of Land Use Regulations. Each will need extensive revamping to function as intended and I believe I can provide the leadership and experience needed to get the job done.

And getting the job done, as a community, is what I’m all about. If you think it’s time to bring trust, balance and vision to Delta County, please vote for me this November.
