  • For over 10 years, the resident’s voice in District 5 has been absent. Special interests have dominated decisions leaving our community fractured and powerless. We now have a choice for a better future where our community’s needs and safety are the priority.
  • I am a leader that respects others, works to find solutions, and I am known as a tenacious problem solver. To move forward, the district will require someone that can bring the region together to collaborate, participate, and commit on issues including wildfire, PFAS, flooding, crime prevention, and transportation infrastructure.
  • These public safety issues affect all residents of District 5 regardless of party affiliation. It is time to focus on the issues, implement solutions, and create a community that will thrive. We CAN do better, together.
PFAS water contamination(forever chemicals), Wildfire Mitigation, transportation infrastructure, emergency response/evacuation, crime prevention.
Integrity, service before self, excellence in all you do. These are the core values of the US Air Force that I adopted throughout my military career that continue to guide me now and in the future.
Responsible Leadership, collaboration, and public engagement
