Why I’m Running
I’m running for County Commissioner to put people back at the center of every decision we make — not insiders, not special interests, and not the political elite. For far too long, working families, small communities, and everyday residents have been asked to adjust to choices made without them. That stops here.
My guiding belief is simple: when we put people first, we build communities that are strong, resilient, and connected. A county is only as healthy as its neighborhoods, only as prosperous as its local businesses, and only as vibrant as the people who call it home.
Larimer County deserves leadership that shows up, listens deeply, and acts with compassion, courage, and common sense. Leadership that recognizes the unique needs of Wellington, Timnath, Estes Park, Berthoud, Fort Collins, Loveland, and every rural community in between. Leadership that believes government works best when it works with people — not at them.
I’m running because I know what it means to struggle, to rebuild, and to rise. And I believe that when we strengthen the support systems that lift people up, we strengthen every corner of our county.
This campaign is rooted in collaboration, honesty, and the belief that every resident deserves a fair shot, a safe community, and a future they can be proud of. Together, we can create a Larimer County where opportunities grow, families thrive, and everyone — no matter their ZIP code — feels seen, valued, and heard.

People First. Community Strong. That’s my philosophy, and that’s the future I’m ready to fight for.
