Reason for Seeking Public Office:

* I moved to Cache Valley 23 years ago and have greatly enjoyed my experience living and working in Cache Valley. I want to give back to my community and become part of the solution to many of the problems we are currently facing.
* I understand healthcare issues -- 23 years of experience
* I work at the Cache County Jail and have gained significant understanding concerning law-enforcement issues. I have personally seen the consequences of some of our society's failures.
* Over the years, I have learned how to work with others with differing view points and opinions and solve problems by building consensus. I will take my life-experience and do my best to work on developing practical solutions to the complicated problems we are facing in our communities and in our State.
