It has been my honor to represent the citizens of District 8 since 1994. I have strived to work in the best interest of my District and the County.  I will continue, in my third term as your Commissioner, to improve the quality of life in our community and to bring about the type of County Government that we can be proud of.

At my inauguration I said, "I’ve been accused of being an idealist. Today I promise to remain one." This vision continues to guide me as I keep working with you and for you.
