What is at stake

Love for Tuolumne County

Tuolumne County is an extraordinary place to raise a family and to retire. From skiing at Dodge Ridge and swimming at Pinecrest Lake to fishing at Kennedy Meadows, our outdoor lifestyle offers year-round opportunities that are hard to match. Add in our state and national parks, local shops, wineries and cideries, and a growing arts scene, and it’s clear, this place is special.

When I first ran for office, I said: “Our quality of life is under real pressure. Mismanaged forests and devastating wildfires threaten our communities. Too many of our roads are in unacceptable condition. Housing affordability, infrastructure, and responsible growth demand steady, practical leadership.”

Those words were an honest assessment of where Tuolumne County stood. Over the past two terms in office, I’ve been directly involved in confronting those challenges, making tough decisions, and helping change the county’s direction. With that experience, I’m energized for another term to build on what we’ve learned and keep moving forward.

Real progress has been made. We made major improvements in forest health and fire safety, strengthening prevention, preparedness, and fire response. We doubled our fire stations. We have rebuilt and expanded law enforcement staffing to levels not seen in decades, improving public safety and response times across the county. And while our roads were once ranked among the worst in the State of California, we have reversed the trend — improving the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and putting long-overdue investment back into our infrastructure.

Are our roads perfect? No.

Are we done? Absolutely not.

But the direction has changed and that matters.

My campaign is about promises made and real progress delivered and the work still ahead. It’s about staying the course, establishing what we’ve started, and continuing to make smart, practical investments that protect public safety, strengthen our infrastructure, and preserve the quality of life that makes Tuolumne County special.

Progress doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen when leadership is steady, focused, and accountable. And with your continued support, there is more progress to come.

And there is much to be done. Click on the buttons below to help me win on June 2, 2026.
