Clallam County Commissioner Dist. No. 3

It’s time for common-sense leadership. County government must focus on its core mission, which is to deliver essential services and empower efficient, community-driven solutions. If you elect me, every decision will be guided by two questions: Is it essential? Is it effective? Public safety is my top priority. F­ailed policies have fueled homelessness and open drug abuse in our neighborhoods, parks, and watersheds. Instead of measuring inputs–beds filled, meals served, supplies distributed–we must measure outcomes: recovery from addiction and graduation from homelessness to self-sufficiency. I will work to make Clallam County a magnet for high-quality, high-paying employers. Safe, clean public spaces, streamlined permitting, and skilled workforce development will give businesses confidence that their investments are protected and their partnerships valued. Housing must be attainable for working families. I will push back on costly mandates, work to reduce county fees, and empower local solutions that expand affordability. Drawing on my business background, I will restore oversight to the county budget. I’ll demand transparency and measurable results for every taxpayer dollar. I’m running to restore public safety, economic opportunity, affordability, fiscal responsibility, and trust in local government. Together we can return to common-sense leadership.

I was born and raised in Clallam County, and I found opportunities here that allowed me to work hard and get ahead. I’m running for re-election because I want my experience to be possible for every resident of Clallam County. While in office, I’ve supported affordable housing development, public safety enhancements, infrastructure projects, and common sense policies that protect our natural resources. I’ve been an advocate of conservative budgeting: maintaining services, avoiding debt, and protecting County reserves. Recently, I led the Recompete team that created a regional strategic plan and acquired $35.6 million for economic and workforce development. Our goal is to create new good jobs, while also training, supporting, and connecting Clallam residents to career pathways so we can restore the promise that hard work pays off and see our communities thrive. There’s more work to do to ensure all our residents can be safe and prosperous. I have deep roots in our community, and a wide range of private, non-profit, and public sector experience with a track record of collaboration and problem-solving. I promise to show up, listen, and deliver for the citizens of Clallam County. I humbly ask for your vote.
