Is there anything else you wish to tell the voters?
My professional journey and personal challenges have uniquely prepared me for the role of County Commissioner. My roots on a dairy farm in Jerome instilled in me the values of hard work and perseverance. Despite humble beginnings, I was inspired to surpass my family's financial limitations. These experiences, along with my battle with lymphoma and subsequent decision to pursue an MBA during treatment, taught me the power of resilience and the importance of education as a transformative tool. My community service as the Executive Director of the Portneuf Greenway Foundation and my advocacy for balanced governance and personal freedoms have honed my leadership skills, preparing me to serve the diverse needs of Bannock County effectively.
If elected, I am committed to fostering a community where growth and personal freedoms coexist harmoniously. My primary goals include enhancing local infrastructure to make Bannock County a more connected and vibrant community, advocating for property tax reforms to ease the financial burden on our residents, and ensuring equal maintenance and investment in important community assets like the Wellness Complex and the Downey Fairgrounds. I also aim to improve accessibility to the commissioners by holding meetings across the county, ensuring all constituents feel represented and heard.
Bannock County can take several cost-effective steps to address climate change. These include promoting energy efficiency programs, expanding public transportation to reduce vehicle emissions, and supporting local agriculture to decrease dependency on imported goods, contributing to significant emissions. Additionally, enhancing our green spaces and supporting initiatives like the Portneuf Greenway can increase carbon sequestration while providing recreational opportunities for our community. Right now, the extremism on the commission has eliminated landowners' rights to enjoy their property as they see fit. Solar farms were voted down for the entirety of the county, even though most citizens who testified were for them.
I want to express my gratitude for your engagement and support. My campaign is built on the foundation of hard work, resilience, and a commitment to representation. I strive to bring a fresh perspective to the Bannock County Commission, advocating for policies that reflect the true needs of our diverse community. I am here to listen to you, learn from you, and lead with you. Let’s work together to shape a future for Bannock County that we can all be proud of. I would appreciate your vote on November 5th.
