I stand for principles and policies which protect our children and their future, strong families, God given inalienable rights and our Constitution on which our Nation was founded.

I believe in a free-market economy that provides opportunity for those who work hard, and at the same time preserves what people have earned. I wholeheartedly support the entrepreneurial spirit in this country which drives our local businesses. I have a vision for our County’s economy to provide our young men and women with stable careers, the ability to buy homes and raise families here. I also believe the seniors in our communities deserve our respect and honor while enjoying their life as our neighbors.  I believe helping those in need should be prioritized by helping those who want help. Our community is able and willing to assist anyone who wants to change.

It is vital to work with government and private agencies to better manage our forests and natural resources in a responsible way that creates jobs and industry, while also protecting citizens and the ecosystem from devastating wildfires.

As promised in 2018, I have and will continue to fight for Tuolumne County’s water rights, reclaiming them as our own and advocating for new water storage. In 2021, our opportunity to reclaim the rights began!  I believe the citizens of Tuolumne County deserve protection and security. As a law enforcement officer by profession, nothing is more important than the safety and security of our children and families.  We have a homeless and substance use problem, putting more substances in our community is not the answer.  Although California allows medicinal and recreational marijuana, our county is not required to permit commercial marijuana cultivation which would harm our environment, pollute and deplete our water, increase crime, negatively impact tourism and reduce property values. Therefore, I stand against big marijuana cultivation.

Finally, I believe that when you say you are going to do something, you do it. You don’t change who you are just to meet the current trendy narrative. I believe you should be open to learning and understanding both sides before making a decision. You should not be afraid to be wrong and learn from it. I believe that relationships are important in Government, but doing the right thing is more important than maintaining that relationship. I believe that politicians should not be afraid to be voted out of office when confronted with hard situations or decisions that might upset their constituents; they should always do what is right, just and fair. My standard is under the umbrella of God, the Constitution and you, the voters who put them in office.
