Statement:

While representing you in the state Legislature, I fought for common sense policies that protect agriculture, keep our communities safe, and improve accountability and transparency in government. I have a proven record of pragmatic solutions based on conservative principles and am excited to put my experience to work for you as your next Benton County Commissioner.

The county’s agricultural success is critical and I will continue to support local farms which are a cornerstone of the economy. As Commissioner, I will ensure public safety taxes are spent effectively so that law enforcement has the resources they need to deter crime and increase safety in our communities.

Taxpayers deserve results and the government must spend the peoples’ money wisely. As a small business owner, I understand the economic challenges facing our communities. That is why I’m dedicated to putting county government to work to support economic development while protecting family budgets from over regulation and excessive taxes.

With a broad background in economic development, housing, financial services, and relationship-building, I want to work with you to preserve our way of life and make the future even brighter for Benton County residents.
