This is an critical time for all of us on Orcas as we have many challenges before us. It’s time for us to invest in our future.
My vision is of a diverse economy providing opportunities for local businesses and a community that promotes artists, families, agriculture, a vibrant tourism industry and environmental responsibility.
I have been a dedicated community member since 1990, and participated in the early meetings on the Growth Management Act. I have seen laws passed but not implemented. I have watched our leaders ignore the advice of appointed advisory committees and disregard the needs of a growing Orcas Island. As a result, time and money have been wasted.
As Chair of the Eastsound Planning and Review Committee, I am aware of the desperate need for effective communication between the county and Orcas residents.
I have the skills and tenacity to work with fellow leaders and give Orcas Island an authentic voice at the county level.
