50-word statement: I am honored to seek re-election as your Benton County District 1 Commissioner. Together we have accomplished a great deal over the past 12 years. I have carefully listened to your ideas and your concerns, and worked hard to make the best possible decisions in your interests and those of our children and grandchildren. I have kept my original promise to you in the governance of the county and its affairs. That promise was to: create an effective and efficient county government; maintain a fiscally responsible and responsive budget; and, preserve our quality of life. I have been able to deliver on that promise because of the strong partnerships I have built with the ports, the cities, our state and local governments, and most importantly, with you whose opinions and ideas I value most. There are many challenges ahead. We must continue to be vigilant in maintaining a healthy economy through job growth, stretching tax dollars to the fullest, protecting our natural resources, maintaining a strong transportation system, and working to keep our citizens healthy and safe. I'm looking forward to meeting these challenges and continuing the impressive progress we've made in making our region a great place to live. Three priorities:
Maintaining strong partnerships cities, ports, industry, and citizens. Leveraging resources to provide for quality services and preserve our quality of life: Developing a Consolidated Crisis Response Center (CCRC). Developing an appropriate animal control program.
