Our County needs to be looked at as a unique regional area. Area population is always a factor, but all are taxpayers and need to be looked at as equal and important for the development and diverse growth of the county. I live in a rural area, but have my business in a city. I see and understand the difference in rural and urban areas.
my business experience, community service experience, and my ability to lead and understand the job at hand. I understand the importance of service to the community and the desire to be efficient and effective. It is a true privilege and honor to serve Johnson County Citizens.
