Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I’m running for County Treasurer because I believe managing public funds is one of the most important responsibilities in local government. In my previous role at the Ada County Treasurer’s Office, I oversaw banking, investments, and cash management for the County. I’ve spent my career managing complex financial operations and safeguarding assets, and I want to continue that work to ensure taxpayer dollars are protected, invested responsibly, and managed with transparency and accountability.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I will safeguard taxpayer dollars and ensure every dollar is managed wisely. Focusing on budgeting discipline, risk awareness, and long-term stability.
• Taxpayers deserve clear, accessible information about where their money goes. Starting with open reporting, easy-to-understand financials, and accessibility.
• We need modernized systems to save time and money focusing on improving processes, reducing waste, and using technology responsibly.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I’m particularly passionate about responsible, sustainable tax policy. In my work managing public funds, I’ve seen how important it is to balance tax relief with maintaining strong reserves, meeting obligations, and planning for economic cycles. Tax relief should be thoughtful and data-driven—not something that puts long-term financial stability at risk.
