It has been an honor to serve as your County Commissioner. I am seeking re-election to continue delivering results for our community. For over 35 years, I have raised my family and built a career across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in Kitsap County. As your Commissioner, I have focused on projects that strengthen our communities, advancing the Olympic College Allied Health campus and improving access to healthcare. I have strengthened transportation through expanded transit and ferry service, improved county operations by streamlining permitting and coordination, and supported workforce development, broadband, and economic vitality through efforts like the Silverdale Daffodil Festival and Bremerton Fan Zone. Kitsap is growing. We must manage growth thoughtfully, protecting our rural character and natural environment while investing in infrastructure, public safety, and economic opportunity. I bring a collaborative, practical, fiscally responsible approach grounded in transparent decision-making. Our strength is in our community. I am grateful to have earned the support of a diverse, bipartisan coalition across Kitsap County, including our local mayors, Sheriff, Prosecutor, the Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribes, and the Kitsap County Democrats. I am proud of what we have accomplished together and would be honored to earn your vote.

I am a fourth-generation Kitsap County native. My hands-on experience working in large government organizations has given me a behind-the-scenes understanding of the processes needed to protect Kitsap’s workforce, quality of life, affordability, and recreation. I have traveled the globe, and I can say Kitsap is a place where you don’t have to be wealthy to be rich. I am a process-minded person, focused on outcomes rather than photo-op projects. I will fight like a gentleman to Keep Kitsap. I want to ensure we maintain the freedom to look out over open landscapes after a day’s work, pull off the road, and share a meal with family or friends. My experience working for one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation has equipped me to serve the citizens of Kitsap County. I understand local medical needs and economics, and I have a solid strategic plan to help Kitsap grow the right way, at the right pace, so we can all keep clear minds. I will do the job for you, not on you. Please visit my website to read more.
