A Practical Platform
Steady, Solutions-Focused Leadership
For A County That Runs Like A Well-Run Business
For years, the county has run a growing deficit, cut or underfunded essential services, and deferred maintenance until buildings became unsafe. It’s time to stop short-term fixes and lead for long-term stability.
Make County Government Work Again
Yamhill County is showing the warning signs of a failing organization: selling public assets, deferred maintenance, and cuts to essential services. We need to return to practical governance that works the way households and small businesses have to work, with clear priorities, honest budgeting, and long-term planning. When leaders can’t collaborate, services suffer and taxpayers pay the bill.
Protect Essential Services & Public Assets
Core services are not optional. Public health, parks, animal control, and our courts should be funded and staffed to meet community needs, not treated as bargaining chips in political conflict. Yamhill County must stabilize essential services, maintain facilities before they become unsafe, and protect long-term public assets so we aren’t forced into short-term selloffs to cover budget gaps.
Grow Smart Revenue & Regional Partnerships
Economic stability means investing in infrastructure that supports industry growth and job creation, while pursuing state, federal, and private funding to reduce the burden on local taxpayers. Yamhill County must look to build sustainable revenue pathways, including tourism lodging taxes, without increasing fees on working families. We need to rebuild trust and cooperation with cities and regional partners so Yamhill County can compete, collaborate, and win resources.
Stable Services
Protect and consistently fund core services like public health, courts, parks, and animal control so residents can rely on them year after year.
Stronger Budget
Reduce the structural deficit by pursuing outside funding and smarter revenue options, including responsible TLT use, without shifting costs onto working families.
Regional Partnerships
Rebuild functional relationships with cities and regional partners to bring more resources home and get infrastructure and economic priorities done.
