I cannot get elected on my own. Getting elected is a heavy lift indeed. It requires phone calls, posting yard signs, handing out campaign literature, arranging for meetings with community clubs and groups. I will fight for the issues that are important to you with courage and commitment but first I need a seat at the table.
I made the important decision to run for this public office because of the several issues that confront our community.
1) Property tax relief is needed. Revisit how our property taxes are calculated that is in-line with income.
2) Public safety - This includes adequate funding of our Sheriffs Dept. and critical infrastructure needed to protect our citizens. Our officers and first responders are underpaid for the work they do.
3) Our water and natural resources are the lifeblood of our economy. We need to protect them vigorously.
4) Greater transparency and accountability in our county government. More citizen input and involvement on important policy decisions is needed.
5) Defend our community against an influx of immigrants that is estimated to cost the Sanctuary City of Denver 180 Million dollars or $500.00 per household in FY 2024.
There is a storm brewing on the front range and it's heading for the Western Slope It threatens our budgets, our culture, and our social service safety net. The citizens of Montrose County did not ask for this and we cannot afford it. We need to make it clear that we are not, and will not become a Sanctuary City. The radical left created this crisis and they need to fix it.
Montrose BOCC is made up of 3 County Commissioners. It is vitally important that all three commissioners bring a valuable set of skills to the commission to serve the community adequately. Compare and contrast the candidates before you vote.
