Presently serving as County Commissioner for District 2, lifelong county resident, more than 33 years in law enforcement, former magistrate judge, thorough knowledge of county issues, and a commitment to serve all members of the community.
The potential loss of the SunRay Casino and Racetrack revenues and jobs; affordable housing; quality jobs and educational opportunities; safe roads; accessible and affordable health care; and well-staffed law enforcement.
We need to support those who are currently serving in these capacities and encourage others to serve.
I have been using--and will continue to use--email, telephone/text, social and mass media to notify Navajo chapters and others in the community about matters before the County Commission.
We need to use both conservation and technology.
