JEFFCO CITIZENS FIRST
VISION & PRIORITIES
My vision for our county starts with putting Jeffco Citizens First. People come before government, institutions, political parties and corporations.
My priorities are the issues impacting our residents most: affordability, balanced development, health and safety.
My conservative principles mean I will hold county government accountable to set and deliver measurable results the people of Jefferson County demand.

Republican Candidate for Jefferson County Council - District 5 -
01
AFFORDABILITY
The average Jeffco citizen needs to be able to afford a family- house, car, groceries, utilities, taxes and an education with income left over to save.
02
BALANCED DEVELOPMENT
Jeffco has the knowledge and resources to develop our county's economy responsibly. We must be able to compete to keep generations of families growing and prospering in Jefferson County.
03
HEALTH & SAFETY
If the growth of our county makes us sick and less safe- it's not the growth we want. Let's invest to protect citizens' physical health and safety.
04
CONSERVATIVE PRINCIPLES
There is conservative and then there is Jeffco conservative. Let our shared values rebuild the trust in our neighbors, elected officials and gov't employees.
