My Top Issues
Housing
We also should be prioritizing a housing-first model as the primary approach to housing our most vulnerable residents.
Housing
We also need to ensure that people currently housed remain housed. There are people throughout our county who live with housing insecurities.
Criminal Justice / Public Safety
As elected officials it is important that we continue to support the collaboration among our agencies for policies such as cross deputizing law enforcement officers from neighboring jurisdictions. We also need to advocate at the state level for increased funding for hiring, improved access to training, and working collaboratively with law enforcement on laws impacting their work.
Infrastructure / Transportation
Cooperating with the cities on projects that can help increase housing opportunities – such as the A Street Basin project in Port Angeles – helps the whole county. This is an area where I feel the county should be more proactive, and if elected I will do more to apply for and leverage funding to maintain and upgrade county infrastructure.
Environment / Energy
Climate change will continue to drive people here, and it is predicted that Washington will continue to be one of the top 10 fastest-growing states for decades to come. The water we and the salmon depend on, and the land we utilize or let remain wild are precious resources and we must work together to ensure they are sustained for the future. The county must continue to improve collaboration with the people of the county, the Department of Natural Resources, and industry to implement practices which reduce nutrient runoff and soil disruption.
