She has a Bachelor's degree in Business Admin with minor studies in Journalism. She was Acting Personnel Director for Mohave County and Personnel Director for the Hualapai Tribal Council in Peach Springs, AZ. Additionally, she owned a legal transcription service producing civil/criminal trial transcripts for Nevada's busiest court, the 8th Judicial District Court in Las Vegas. She is currently a contributing journalist with The Standard Newspaper in Kingman – a county-wide newspaper. Becky’s public service includes being a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate), volunteering in the ER and gift shop at KRMC (Kingman Regional Medical Center), Volunteer Sheriff’s Posse member, providing pro bono process service to Community Legal Services in Kingman when she was a private process server, volunteering at the polls during elections and as a supervisor of poll workers in Las Vegas.
She is a principled, proven and prepared. Becky is far from a one-dimensional candidate and possesses wide-ranging and varied experience and qualifications that will be useful to her in the position of county assessor.- I believe elected officials should serve no more than two terms or at the very most, three. Elected positions were never meant to be "career" positions or to be held for a lifetime. It should be considered PUBLIC SERVICE. Some elected officials who remain in office, even for one term, begin to feel entitled. They operate as if they own the office and all that goes with it. I will not seek more than TWO terms and I promise never to abuse the privilege of driving a county vehicle or otherwise misappropriate county resources. I will faithfully and honestly discharge the duties of the assessor's office. State Statutes will be followed to the letter and there will be NO SPECIAL FAVORS FOR ANYONE.
- Mohave County deserves an assessor with high integrity who works FULL-TIME for taxpayers. I plan to do that and will resign any political positions that I may hold so there will be no conflicts. Also, I will not seek more than two terms and will devote my time only to the taxpayers without any outside special interests.
- I will never abuse the privilege of having a county vehicle or otherwise misappropriate county resources for private and/or political use. I have solid conservative credentials and a vested interest in Mohave County. I moved to Kingman in 1970, I am a homeowner, I have served my county as a public official as well as through my extensive volunteer work.
A budget that is transparent and easily understood by taxpayers is essential for good government. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, especially for Mohave County.
