Infrastructure / Transportation Growth will happen, but it must never come at the expense of the people who already live here. Responsible growth means planning carefully and ensuring new development fits our terrain, safety realities, and rural lifestyle — not reshaping communities into something unrecognizable. Infrastructure must come first. Roads, water, emergency services, and schools need to be ready before development is approved, not strained afterward. High-density, urban-style projects do not align with our geography, fuel load, or evacuation challenges. Thoughtful planning is not anti-growth; it is pro-community. Economy Support for online schooling, training, and workforce development. Housing Short-term rentals and corporate ownership can create real pressure in rural communities. When homes become investment vehicles instead of places to live, full-time residents are pushed out and neighborhoods change quickly. District 3 should prioritize housing for residents — not speculation. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Coordinating Public Works, Fire, and Emergency Services so road work directly supports emergency response. Taxes / Budget Prioritizing investments that strengthen safety, resilience, and essential services. Housing Housing decisions must be thoughtful and case-specific, accounting for water, roads, fire safety, terrain, and rural character. Growth should never outpace infrastructure. Roads, utilities, emergency services, and schools must be able to support new housing before projects are approved — not catch up afterward. Housing should also support the people who serve this community. Deputies, firefighters, teachers, nurses, and county employees should be able to live where they work. When public servants can afford to stay here, it strengthens public safety, stability, and local trust. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Planning that reflects rural terrain, distance, and response times. Defense / Veterans Space for remote VA or medical appointments.

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Support for volunteer recruitment and retention. Taxes / Budget Budgets built with fire readiness in mind.
