Centerville

Political platform statement

Why I am running for this office: I am running for re-election so our County can take all the positive accomplishments of the past 8 years to an even higher level. It has been a privilege and honor to be a Klickitat County Commissioner. I have been a voice for Ag and Timber industries and strongly support infrastructure construction and maintenance. I helped develop job opportunities and support systems for county youth, worked to keep the budget balanced, build up cash reserves, and supported renewable energy projects. Additional, I will continue to fully support the veterans, Veterans Service Office and their needs. I am a passionate advocate for helpful programs and services that look out for our youth, families, and addressing the daycare crisis. The Commissioners work closely with other government agencies and provide additional funding to our Senior Services Dept. to ensure care, resources and transportation are available. In order to be successful, these programs need community involvement, funding, and partnerships with public and private contributors. I have a proven track record of building respectful relationships and securing stable funding. I have been supporting our local businesses, Fire Districts, Schools and youth groups for 40+ years. These last 8 years the county has moved forward increasing revenues and opportunities. My conservative values and experience will serve the county well as we head into uncertain times. I would appreciate your vote so I can continue to work for you and our County.
