When I first ran for the Marion County Board of
Commissioners, I promised to work toward rebuilding the faith and
credibility in county government, returning our government to its core
functions, restoring employee morale and regaining control of the county
budget.
Since taking office, I continue to work hard to keep
these promises. I have been in every community in Marion County, helping
people to find solutions to local problems, building partnerships with city
officials and citizen groups and working together on community projects.
And, I’ve worked to build effective relationships with our county
employees. I’ve cast the hard votes, making tough choices when
necessary, standing up for the principles we share.
I have worked hard supporting our farmers’
efforts to seek innovative ways to keep their farms viable and profitable,
thus protecting valuable productive farmland. I’ve worked to
strengthen our economy, attracting large and small employers to Marion
County, and making sure businesses can focus on business, instead of
burdensome regulations. I’ve worked with law enforcement tackling the
meth epidemic in our communities and uniting local efforts against this
plague. I’ve worked hard to ensure Measure 37 was implemented
swiftly, fairly and without additional burden to people whose property was
unfairly taken away by government restrictions.
There is still work to be done, however, and I’m
asking for your vote so I can continue working with you and for you. Thank
you!
