I believe that these issues are important to many of us on Orcas Island and in San Juan County...
- My campaign promise to you is to clearly and professionally represent you at the island, county and state level. I pledge to use common sense, courage and creativity to:
- Build a more diverse economy, by promoting the support of small business, recruiting green industry, producing more goods locally, supporting farming and eco-tourism, and encourage professional mentoring.
- Support the planning department, by establishing clear rules for development, identifying critical areas, and providing fair and timely permitting.
- Promote environmental stewardship to maintain quality of life, property values, and protect our critical water resources.
- Support advisory groups and listen to their deliberated advice.
- Preserve our diverse community by supporting schools, senior programs, affordable housing, community services and the arts.
- Communicate with constituents by being accessible in the community and openly sharing.
