As District Three Board Supervisor, my primary goals will be to emphasize fiscal responsibility and long range planning and to improve City/County relations. Fiscal responsibility starts with making public safety the first order of priority within the county budget.

cohassetMy style of communication is to be honest, fair, respectful, and open minded. I will work in a constructive and productive manner with County staff and the other Supervisors. I will work to get professional staff and make sure they have the tools to do their job. I will always remember that productive agriculture and quality water are integral parts of what makes Butte County so desirable. The first priority for our water must be the needs of the citizens of Butte County.

I have an extensive record of public service involvement and experience. Four years ago, Mary Anne Houx retired and supported my campaign for supervisor.  I was a member of the Chico City Council from 1998 to 2006, including serving as Mayor and currently Vice Mayor. I have served on LAFCO and I am the Chico member of the County Water Advisory Committee. I have worked with county staff and supervisors on the successful automatic aid agreement between city and county fire departments. I have also worked on the state mandated Nitrate Compliance Program and spearheaded an agreement by which citizens are not mandated to annex when they fulfill the State requirement to hook up to sewer lines.
