The County Auditor’s work directly affects every taxpayer, which makes this role a serious responsibility. As the county’s chief fiscal officer, the Auditor must maintain accurate property records, ensure fair and consistent valuations, and oversee financial reporting with transparency and accountability. Residents depend on clear, accessible information to understand how property values and tax decisions are determined. This office requires careful oversight, fairness, and a strong commitment to responsible stewardship of public resources.
For more than 25 years as a REALTOR®, I have worked directly with property values, market cycles, and the financial decisions families make when buying or selling a home. That experience has shown me how property values affect homeownership opportunities, financial stability, and the ability to remain in a home over time. Protecting property rights and ensuring fairness in valuation and taxation have long been part of my work in our communities. I will bring that same commitment to fairness, accountability, and service to the Auditor’s office.
If elected, I will focus on strengthening transparency, modernization, and accountability within the Auditor’s office. Residents deserve clear, easy access to property data and financial records. This includes modern online tools, simplified property search systems, and clearer explanations of valuations and tax calculations. As chief fiscal officer, the Auditor should ensure accurate data and responsible financial oversight while improving how information is shared with the public. My goal is to make the office more accessible, transparent, and responsive to taxpayers.
