Vision

My vision is a community that embraces and protects the natural environment, wildlife, and outdoor recreation that make our home so special — guided by shared values and a commitment to preserving the mountain-town character of the Snyderville Basin.

I am committed to listening to residents, representing their best interests, and addressing our key community issues.

    •  Maintain community character and quality of life for all residents. 

    • Strengthen the General Plan and Development Code to prevent transformational growth.

    • Guide previously approved development using incentives that address community challenges, while minimizing adverse impacts.

    • Collaborate with partners on UDOT improvements, Bus Rapid Transit, and underground parking at Kimball Junction. 

    • Evaluate traffic impacts in all key decisions and work to reduce congestion.

    • Explore traffic solutions through budgeting, transportation planning, regional partnerships, and Olympic infrastructure projects.

    • Advance open space initiatives and protect wildlife to safeguard the County’s most valuable natural assets. 

    • Encourage sustainable growth and resource management throughout the County.

  • Protect the community’s ability to make decisions that directly affect residents. Collaborate with the League of Cities and Towns, state lobbyists, and the Utah legislature to advocate for local control.

  • Ensure residents receive high-quality services at a fair cost. Maintain reasonable taxation while considering economic impacts on all community members.

  • Collaborate on public-private partnerships. Incentivize employers and community stakeholders to help develop solutions for affordable and senior housing.

  • Work with partners to secure external funding. Address infrastructure challenges and create lasting community amenities.

  • Ensure the County continues to be an outstanding place to live, work, and play.
