Statement

Clark County was a great place to raise a family when I moved here sixteen years ago. Today, I'm worried we're losing what made it special. I'm deeply concerned with the county's trajectory - students and schools are lagging, law enforcement is underfunded, and vagrancy remains a threat to safety and quality of life. As your Charter Review Commissioner, I'll keep the whole community in mind to prioritize amendments that will bolster public safety, making it possible to set policies that support higher staffing levels and officer resources. 

My political views are rooted in fiscal conservatism, small government, and protection of individual rights for a more sustainable society. I'll only support amendments that lead to responsible spending. Affordability of new programs or projects should be clearly communicated to county citizens, especially for the I-5 Interstate Bridge Replacement program which currently fails to address core issues.

Bringing 30 years of solving technical and management issues in the commercial world, I will work with all stakeholders to make our county government Charter more effective and efficient. Please vote for me so we can build a safer and stronger Clark County.
