The three-member Board of County Commissioners is the governing body of the county. County Commissioner is the only office that has legislative, executive and judicial responsibilities and duties. Commissioners have the power to pass ordinances, adopt budgets, fix tax levy rates and oversee the county budget. They are charged with the duty of supervising the official conduct of all county officers as their conduct relates to public monies and revenues, as well as supervising appointed boards and committees. They also act as the Board of Equalization. The Board sits as a quasi-judicial body to hear various matters, including planning and zoning requests, property valuation protests and requests for cancellation of taxes, and indigent issues among many others.

Office Sought
Twin Falls County Commissioner, District 1
I will work closely with my fellow county commissioners to ensure full staffing of the new county jail scheduled for completion in 2027, and to add additional patrol deputies to the Sheriff’s Department as quickly as possible.
I will continue to promote collaborative efforts to construct a third crossing over the Snake River Canyon — an essential project for our growth and saftey.
I will advocate for responsible land use planning that protects our agricultural base and the water resources upon which it depends.
I will actively seek efficiencies within existing county services to improve working conditions, benefits, and the quality of public service for both employees and residents.
I will foster a culture of respect and dignity.
Farming as a sole proprietor and operating our family ranch in partnership has grounded me in the values of hard work, responsibility, and stewardship. I have also enjoyed more than 20 years as a loan officer with our local community bank in Buhl, serving neighbors and supporting local businesses.
My commitment to education includes ten years on the Castleford School Board of Trustees and eight years on the Buhl School Board. I am a member of the Castleford Quick Response Unit and the Castleford Community Men’s Club. I have been a 4‑H leader, an FFA supporter, and an active FFA Alumni member.
These experiences have taught me the importance of collaboration and strengthened my passion for serving others.
Directing urban growth in a way that preserves agricultural activity and protects water rights, while also respecting private property rights and individual liberty, is essential to the future of our county. We face the ongoing challenge of encouraging organized, responsible growth without losing the character and identity of our communities.
Please VOTE May 19th.
God Bless these United States and the great State of Idaho.
