High Fives all around for the Women and Men of Thurston County's Fire Fighters and Medic Ones, and for the Women and Men of Law Enforcement who provide the safety that we enjoy. I Salute the Women and Men of Every Branch of the Armed Services who put THEIR LIVES ON THE LINE EVERY DAY for the Freedom that We often take for granted. I am a candidate that is grateful and deeply appreciative of the sacrifices that you all make. Thank You. 

Dear Friends and Supporters 

I’m new to Thurston County politics, but I’m not new to Executive Management.  I’m very comfortable in leadership and very comfortable in making constituents part of the decision making process.  I am encouraged in knowing that Thurston County residents are now ready for the kinds of change that make them the beneficiaries of the decisions that will provide the services they expect without having to pay so much. 

I celebrate Thurston County's greatest and most valuable asset, the people who live here. I celebrate the foundation of dreams and synergy of hope which is found in the youth of the families who live here. These provide substance and shape and resolution to Thurston County's future. 

With a B.A. Degree in Global Economics and Management and The Public Interest, I also bring you over 25 years of experience encompassing Executive Management, Project Management, Strategic Planning, Finance, Securities, Budget Analysis, Business Development, and International Marketing.   

• I Support Open government, because you have the right to know
• I Support Conservative Spending, because you have the right to save
• I Support an Absolutely Balanced Budget, where you always benefit
• I Support Reducing Government, where you have fewer regulations, more personal rights
• I Support Thurston County Governmental Culpability, where they take responsibility
• I Support Conservative Environment practices, where we use less energy and save more
• I Support Private Property Ownership and respect for property ownership rights 

I am a Republican seeking a seat on the Board of Thurston County Commissioners, 2^nd District, 2008.  I’ve lived in the 2^nd District for 30 years and have raised my family here. 

I need your financial support and your vote if we are to succeed in bringing about the changes that will result in reduced fees, better service, and a body of county employees who clearly demonstrate that providing service to Thurston County residents is their top priority.
