Cass County

Common Ground

I am passionate about the community of Cass County and am dedicated to representing you as your next County Commissioner for District 3.

Why I’m Running

Lead with a strong voice, listen with an open mind.

  • I believe that a thriving local economy is essential for a prosperous community. I will support and promote policies that help our businesses grow and succeed, creating jobs and opportunities for all of our residents. I will work in partnership with our Chambers of Commerce, Cass County Economic Development Corporation, the Region Five Development Commission, and others, to make this possible.

  • I am dedicated to maintaining fiscal responsibility in our county’s budget and operations. By ensuring the efficient use of resources and practicing prudent financial management, we can keep taxes low while maximizing the benefits to our community.

  • I believe in sustainable progress through strategic investments in our communities and other critical areas. Our focus will be on long-term solutions that can withstand the test of time, ensuring that our county continues to thrive for generations to come.

  • I will work tirelessly to enhance the quality of life in our county. This involves providing and supporting strong county services that residents can rely on, particularly for children, veterans, the elderly, and victims of abuse.

Hello District 3!

I have the skills and fresh energy our county needs, and will work hard to listen to your needs.
