Welcome to my campaign website!
I am running for the At-Large - Grand
County Council seat. It is my hope that this website will serve to
provide useful information about my background, public service
experience, and vision for Grand County.
I am currently involved with many
service positions and boards and am truly grateful for the experiences
I've gained and the people I've met in serving our community. I look
forward to extending that service as a Council Member.
Grand County has many desirable
qualities that need to be preserved as well as many challenges that must
be addressed. In preserving these qualities and meeting future
challenges, I will place a heavy emphasis on community development in a
way that meets the needs of current and future generations. As a representative
of the people I will always be open and available for discussion and
will strive to understand the community's needs.
Please explore the rest of this
website and feel free to contact me with comments, concerns, or
questions. I look forward to meeting you out on the campaign trail.
