Statement: I have worked in customer service jobs for over thirty years. Now, I want to serve you.

This office exists to serve your needs, not mine. As a resident of this district, I tried for five years to get help with an issue and faced red tape at every turn -- the issue was never resolved. As your elected councilmember, I promise to always provide the service you need, including helping you navigate the county’s many rules and regulations.

I was born in rural Pierce County and have lived here all my life. My wife of 35 years and I live on five acres and appreciate the freedom of rural life. We have raised four children, who are now adults and productive members of society. I understand the issues facing this area, and I will fight for your rights!

In a country where “friendly reminders” about seatbelts have turned into tickets and then crimes, it is crucial to elect officials who will stand up for citizens’ rights. The oath of this office is to first and foremost uphold the U.S. Constitution. I intend to uphold this oath. Help save our country. I need your vote to work for you!
