I care for this community and believe it's worth standing up for. Politics in Grand County can be heated, especially when opinions differ. One of the most important challenges we face right now is how we talk to one another. True progress stalls when disagreements become personal and divide neighbors who ultimately want the same thing: a thriving community. As Commissioner, I would commit to bringing thoughtful, respectful discussion to the table. We can hold different perspectives and still show up for each other at the end of the day. I want to listen to understand, not just respond, so we can all move forward together.

Independent Thinker
Independent thinking has always been part of Grand County's character. While we don't always agree, we share something much more important: a deep love for this place and a commitment to the people who call it home. In Moab, we show up for each other's kids, each other's celebrations, and are part of each other's stories.
I'm running for Grand County Commission District 4 because I love this community. I am worried about our elderly neighbors who can't afford to stay and our young people who can't afford to start, and I believe every resident deserves honest, transparent government. With over 20 years in financial planning, and having served as Moab Chamber President, on the city planning commission, and county advisory boards, I am ready to continue serving this community on the county commission. I will show up for you with honesty, an open mind, and everything I've got.

Issues
These are the issues I'm focused on for Grand County. Click any one to read more.
Supporting our Local Businesses Our local business owners are the backbone of our community. These businesses create local jobs, keep dollars circulating right here at home, and invest back into our community. They aren't just businesses—they are our neighbors, sponsors of our youth programs, and the heartbeat of our town. When our small businesses thrive, they provide stable opportunities for working families while preserving the distinct character that makes Moab special. As County Commissioner, I am committed to advancing common-sense policies that support our local business owners and keep our economy strong.

Fiscal Transparency I will work to make sure every resident understands how their money is being spent and the why behind it. I would push for regular community workshops on the county budget, consistent social media updates that break down our spending in a way anyone can understand, and an expanded Budget Advisory Board. These initiatives cost very little. They require commitment, not a big budget. After over 20 years in finance, I know that an informed community makes better decisions. A big win for me would be helping everyone understand the basics of our county budget.

Effects of Tourism Tourism is vital to our economy, but our locals deserve to feel at home in their own community. Those two things are not in conflict, but they require intentional work. The first thing I would do is bring local business owners, nonprofits, workers and families together to build a plan for managing growth in a way that protects quality of life and supports our local economy. Too often, decisions are made reactively. I want to be proactive. Lots of people have great ideas. My job would be to help turn those ideas into results. We need to work together to make Moab a welcoming place for visitors while keeping what makes Moab, Moab.

Bipartisan and Independent The best ideas don't belong to one political party, one neighborhood, or one point of view. They come from listening, asking good questions, and recognizing that none of us has all the answers. I want to be the kind of commissioner who brings people to the table, values thoughtful discussion, and never loses sight of the people we're here to serve.
