Statement: While I always welcome a political debate, I take it as a "vote of confidence" that no opponent filed to challenge my election to a third term. During the last eight years, I've introduced over twenty specific improvements to modernize the way we serve taxpayers. Additional positive changes are planned for the next four years.
I was originally elected under the campaign motto, "Let's fix this." It has been a challenge--and a great honor--to lead a team of 75 people in fairly and efficiently valuing your property and levying taxes to fund the operation of local government. Our motto now is "Better every day!"
I want to thank the many voters, friends and community leaders who have trusted and supported me over the years. It is an honor to represent you as an elected official, and I do not take it lightly.
Above all, I pledge to maintain absolute integrity in this office, which determines the value of over 325,000 properties in Pierce County, and collects each property owner's fair share of about $1.5 billion in taxes every year, to fund needed services.
