I am proud to announce my candidacy for Grays Harbor County Treasurer. After eight years as your elected County Commissioner and seven years as a Senior Real Estate Appraiser in the Assessor’s Office, I bring deep, hands-on experience in the very financial systems this office manages every single day.  As County Commissioner, I oversaw the county’s budget making financial policy decisions both administratively and legislatively for almost a decade.  I also sat on numerous boards and committees often making financial decisions for these organizations. 

​

My seven years in the Grays Harbor County Assessor’s Office gave me a great understanding of the property tax and levy system. This knowledge is important to the position of County Treasurer, who must accurately collect, and distribute property taxes and special assessments to schools, fire districts, water districts, cities, and other local governments. While the Assessor values property, the Treasurer manages levies and ensures those dollars flow correctly to support essential public services.

​

The job of County Treasurer requires integrity and a careful stewardship of public money, smart internal controls, efficient operations, and a good and broad financial analysis.  It also requires a strong understanding of the checks and balances in local government.  These are exactly the skills I have demonstrated throughout my public service.  If elected, I will bring proven leadership, efficiency, and expertise to protect taxpayer dollars and accountability.  I will deliver reliable service to every citizen and every district in our county.  I respectfully ask for your support and your vote in the upcoming election.

​

Thank you for your consideration!
