Important Issues

While it is a “well-kept secret,” county government affects your life in many ways, every day. The county paves and plows our roads, handles our weather and other emergencies, keeps us safe, and provides essential services to seniors, persons with mental illness and disabilities.  County programs protect our children from abuse and neglect, environmental hazards like lead and from childhood diseases.  This year we were able to provide well testing for over 1000 homes, re-pave and re-surface x miles of county roads, while also passing a balanced budget that actually reduces property taxes. I am proud to have a leadership role in making these milestones happen.

​

I have been honored to chair the Dunn County Health and Human Services Board for the last four years, helping to insure that we continue robust, evidence-based healthcare, and effective services for families and children. I am proud that we have cared for our neighbors through a pandemic, and, with the sometimes heroic efforts of our wonderful staff, have been able to do so while balancing a huge multi-million dollar budget. 

Robust Human Services:
In the next two years, should you re-elect me, I plan to insure that we continue to offer essential services that provide people with healthcare, food assistance, family support, well child care and birth-3 services.

Smart Growth and Sustainable Development: 
I hope to continue to serve on the Planning, Resources and Development committee, and will continue my advocacy for smart, sensible growth while protecting our environment and precious natural resources.  

Housing:
I have been, and will continue to be, an advocate for housing: safe, quality, desirable, affordable housing for families at all points on the income scale.  A Housing Study, I helped to bring about, has identified an urgent need for more housing, for all of including those who are homeless, to workers like teachers and firefighters, to executives.  And to help make that happen, I will help to bring about needed economic development and business growth.
