“When I was in Congress, I fought to build a strong Washington County that was an economic engine done the right way - light rail, strong communities, and preservation of our farms and open spaces.

Over the last 15 years, I've watched progress erode as tax giveaways are handed to land developers, backroom deals are made, and traffic clogging roads stem from unplanned communities.

I'm running to be your District 4 County Commissioner because I believe I can bring a much needed change to county leadership, and prioritize what matters: public safety, services for our most vulnerable, education, and preservation of Washington County's farm and forest economy in a manner that complements our industrial economy.”
