Why are you running?: 

Born in Hanford, I have lived in the district most of my life. The grandson of local farmers, I learned the hard work of agriculture firsthand. I attended Hanford schools and later after my service in the US Coast Guard, attended West Hills College and COS. My college education focused upon the study of the law as a paralegal. I served on the Hanford City Planning Commission from 1998 till 2002 and was a member of the 2002 General Plan Update Committee. I have worked for Kings County for nearly 20 years and since 2003 have been Chairman of the statewide County Record Managers Association of California (CRMAC).

I am asking for your vote for supervisor to preserve and protect our water, open space and prime farm land; to encourage more public participation in decisions affecting our citizens; to improve employment and educational opportunities; to ensure that Kings County is able to provide its’ citizens the highest quality fire protection, law enforcement, roads, public health and other essential services. With your vote and working together, we will be successful in bringing these and other needed improvements to Kings County.
