I have served one term as a County Commissioner. I’ve taught History and Government for over 30 years .
Economic Development. Need to build a new Hospital which is owned by Quay County. Declining population in the cities, and villages with in the County.
Positive communication as opposed to negative communication. Promote and support the positive things about our schools, and residents. Some of the best people in the world live in Quay County N.M. Quay has been working on getting a new hospital for years . We are getting close to finalizing the plans , and hopefully beginning construction in a year. The rising cost have delayed the construction of our new hospital.
We are fortunate to have a weekly newspaper, and local radio station that are a great asset on getting word out to the communities of Quay County. Also use of social media.
When you live in an area that is supposed to get around 16 inches of rain per year but rarely does water is a huge problem. With the Oglala Aquifer declining it can limit businesses coming to our area . Plus we are an agricultural area. The balance of available water is a growing concern.
