• As a successful businesswoman, I have owned and operated multiple businesses providing testing, inspection, and consulting services in the healthcare and construction industries. I have developed innovative programs that have been implemented nationwide and earned national recognition for my knowledge of codes and standards. I have sat in many board rooms, where my expertise was sought as an advisor. These experiences have taught me to be a successful team builder, collaborator, and creative problem solver. Skills that will be put to good use as your County Commissioner.
  • We need a strong voice for Our Way of Life. One that aligns with the moral and ethical values that have been tilled into the very land that provides for our prosperity. A leader, whose business experience and understanding of fiscal and fiduciary responsibilities helps to build strength and stability in the county now, and in the years to come. I bring these skillsets to the Commissioner position as a candidate.
  • Responsible Succession for County Offices. The majority of our department heads are very experienced and have built strong departments and served us well. How are we prioritizing the stability of their services into the future, as these wisdom holders retire and complete their service? How are we preparing for the future through responsible succession planning? We currently have, many overworked and often understaffed departments, with no time to address this critical point. Where is the capture/transfer of knowledge, experience and wisdom that has been accumulated over many years of service? We need to open this conversation, begin exploring innovative and creative problem solving strategies, and prioritize planning.
  • It is difficult to build consensus or cohesiveness within the county when information is vague, difficult to access or non-existent. How do we know our resources are being responsibly stewarded when the majority of this information isn’t available or easily accessible? As a smaller county within the state, with limited resources, we need to spend prudently and with fiscal responsibility. That does not mean we continue doing it the way it’s always been done (or not done). Change requires courage, determination, and a commitment to find a new way. I would welcome the opportunity to identify and steward federal and state funding that is designed to help small rural counties create and provide what our urban siblings consider necessities. Add
Fiscal Responsibility, with fair and transparent information on budget planning and taxation.

Providing the best services to our county residents, whether through health services or county services. I want to see healthy communities working together for the benefit of all of us.

From the realm of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth, Samwise Gamgee, Frodo’s loyal hobbit companion, stands out as a remarkable fictional character. Despite having no extraordinary powers, few skills, and no combat experience, Sam’s unwavering dedication, compassion, and resilience make him an exemplary hero.

Why Samwise Gamgee stands out:

Selfless devotion: Sam’s love and loyalty to Frodo drive him to undertake the perilous journey to destroy the One Ring, despite the risks and hardships. He prioritizes Frodo’s well-being over his own, demonstrating extraordinary empathy and sacrifice.
Temptation and redemption: Sam, like Frodo, is tempted by the Ring’s power, but he resists its influence and willingly gives it up, showcasing his moral strength and commitment to his friend.
Humility and simplicity: As a humble hobbit, Sam’s unassuming nature and lack of grandeur make him relatable and endearing. His ordinary, yet extraordinary, courage inspires admiration and respect.

Samwise Gamgee’s character embodies the values of loyalty, compassion, and resilience, making him a beloved and iconic fictional character. His story serves as a testament to the power of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and his bond with Frodo remains one of the most poignant and enduring friendships in literature.
