A Republican with experience, integrity & commitment.

We have experienced victories, challenges and opportunities as leaders in our county. In just a few short months I have been part of an unprecedented number of community leaders and stakeholders working together to seek answers to our ever-changing mental health crisis. There have been tangible results with many more to come in the near future, as our efforts have gained the positive attention of decision makers at the state level.

Many steps were taken in order to help the Sheriff's office retain detention officers working in the jail, including a return to overtime pay versus comp time. As a Court, we created a position for a Mental Health Diversion Officer in the jail, a first step to making real improvements in the way offenders with mental health issues are addressed.
