For the last minute voter

"Every vote is important and each counts, even those cast at the last minute."

Just a quick note for those still pondering, a summary of why you should vote for me:

For over 40 years, I have served as an elected Commissioner for Jefferson County Public Hospital District No.2, Jefferson Healthcare, a municipal corporation with an annual budget of over 77 million dollars and 581 employees.  The duties of a PUD Commissioner are very similar, so I have the experience necessary.  If elected, I will continue in my hospital post as well.  I have the time and energy and it was OK'd by two legal councils (attorneys).

I am a lifelong Jefferson County resident with a history of community service in such areas as the fire department, Civil Defense, and Emergency Medical Services..

Our PUD should be run like a business, customer centered, while still assisting our financially troubled neighbors.

Our PUD  should make planning a high a priority, including contingencies, for future growth and expansion of services.

Our PUD should champion the cause by supporting alternate energy sources, especially solar.

Our PUD should support our local farmers through cooperative efforts to assure adequate water for agriculture.

Our PUD should aggressively support conservation programs, locally staffed, and make sure that those with lower incomes can still participate through special, low interest loans arranged with banks.

Our PUD should look toward new opportunities to serve our communities, but first, organize and optimize its existing services.  Before taking on new tasks, assure that the planning and preparation have been completed.

Thank you for your support!!
