What do you think are the most important priorities as a Precinct Committeeman?
The role of the committeeman should be representation of party voters to the Central Committee and vice versa. They should be a voice for their precinct and help provide information on all candidates in a primary election. Informed voters are then better able to make their own decisions as to who emerges to represent them in a general election. I do not believe that committeemen and the Central Committee should choose sides and endorse only one candidate in a primary. It is also a priority as committeeman to help set the tone and direction of the party in the County, again as a voice for voters in their precinct.
Is there anything else you would like to tell the voters?
I am running to help preserve the qualities that make our community a great place to live and work. I have no personal or hidden agenda and want to work for our shared interests, not promote divisiveness. I have been the Board Chair for the Coeur d’Alene Chamber of Commerce and LAM Christian Academy. I have served on the Board of the EXCEL Foundation which provides grants to local teachers. I have served on the Kootenai Health Foundation Board for 7 years and am on the Executive Committee as Secretary. I’ve been married for 22 years, I’m a University of Idaho graduate and our daughter is now a Vandal in her freshman year.
