| Collapse all
- Smart Growth, Not Sprawl. Growth must pay for itself — not fall on taxpayers. That means modernizing subdivision rules, coordinating city and county planning, and ensuring development strengthens — not weakens — our rural communities.
- Justice With Results. We don’t need bigger jails — we need better outcomes. Treatment where it works, accountability where it’s needed, and a Sheriff’s Office and Court system equipped to protect families. The men and women who protect us deserve the resources to keep our families safe — period.
- Fixing the Roads That Connect Us and Transparency — Even When It’s Uncomfortable. You should not have to risk your suspension — or your safety — every time you drive to work or church. We need a countywide transportation plan that finally aligns with our cities, so every tax dollar counts. And allows federal and state grants to become more readily available. This office deserves sunlight. Budgets deserve accountability. And you deserve a County Judge who works for you, not special interests.
