Washington County Commissioner District 2
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.

Washington County Commissioner-District 2
Reinstate some of the land use guidelines that were recently removed without undergoing a public hearing process, ensuring transparency and community input are restored.
Work to reduce acrimony, division, and costly lawsuits at the county level by promoting respect and transparent decision-making.
Bachelor of Business Administration in Management (BSU)
Approximately 38 years of experience serving in a variety of private-sector management roles.
Prior service on the City of Weiser Planning and Zoning Committee.
Land Use Management, reducing the use of Executive Sessions in county government, increasing transparency by opening more of the county’s business to the public, and working to reduce costly legal disputes that drain county resources and shift focus away from serving the public.
I believe our county—like many others—has an opportunity to benefit from broader community involvement and a more balanced range of voices in local decision-making. When more citizens are engaged, informed, and participating, we create stronger, more representative outcomes for everyone.
That’s why I encourage those of us who care about our community—myself included—to become more active in local government, take the time to understand the issues, and most importantly, make our voices heard at the ballot box. I hope you’ll join me in participating in the upcoming primary election on May 19th.
