Thank you for the honor and privilege you have bestowed upon me--- allowing me to serve as your current District 1 County Commissioner.  It has truly been one of the greatest honors of my life.

We have accomplished much--but there is much left to do.  Together, with your support and your vote, we will continue to improve our community for our families, businesses, and visitors--by concentrating on what is most important:

--Intelligent, managed growth

--Excellent and Efficient Public Safety

--Improved Infrastructure

--Transparent governence

--Accessible leadership

--Unsurpassed constituent service
