I am a near lifelong resident of the district. I was raised on Donner Summit, swimming in the river and skiing in the woods. I love our rural lifestyle. I am tired of being burned out of the mountains. I was evacuated in the '20 Loyalton fire I spent last summer following the Beckworth and Dixie fires. Both visible from my home. I want to take action to prevent further devastation. I see different solutions to problems. I received a Patent in Nov 2020, proving my ability to problem solve. I want to protect the forests and watershed of District 1, preserving water rights for generations to come.
