My priorities
Education:
I wholeheartedly sup-
port the Warm Springs
K-8 Academy and stand
with Madras High
School
providing
classes in the trades.
Vocational courses pro-
vide a whole new world
of opportunities for our
youth—opportunities
that pay well, may help
keep them in our com-
munity, and also
strengthens our local
workforce.
A vibrant economy:
I will listen to our
communities, help es-
tablish priorities, and
work to develop bal-
anced economic solu-
tions to help
us attract out-
side invest-
ment and spur
economic de-
velopment.
Affordable
housing:
Whether
renting
or
looking
to
buy, people in our com-
munities should be able
to find housing that fits
their needs, is in reason-
able condition and
doesn’t cost so much
they can’t afford other
basic needs.
Rural livability:
To protect our way of
life, preserv-
ing our rural
lifestyle,
communi-
ties and val-
ues,
we
must mod-
ernize our
infrastruc-
ture; start-
ing with im-
proving
Internet ser-
vices, and keeping roads
and buildings in good re-
pair.
I bring a common-sense
approach to problem
solving, believe government
is strongest when inclusive
of all its residents, and am
not afraid of hard choices
or hard work.
