My Campaign Platform

Put Residents and Our Community First.
Let’s refocus spending to benefit our local community. For example, why does Teton County subsidize airlines to fly in even more visitors? Do we need to spend our tax dollars to encourage even more people to visit Teton County?

Fiscal Responsibility
The Teton County budget was $63mn dollars in 2021. Sales tax revenue is up and so are our property taxes. Instead of looking for new taxes in order to offer more services, how about we cut taxes for residents! Let’s spend our money wisely! I am opposed to a 7th cent sales tax, and will carefully scrutinize any SPET tax proposals.

We have a Housing Crisis and a Transportation Crisis.
The two problems are interlinked and extend beyond Teton County, WY. I am not satisfied with the timid response from our elected officials. We need urgency and action now to support our workforce.

Support Local Law Enforcement and Our First Responders.
They deserve our support and respect. They are our unsung heroes.

Education
Parents’ Voices and Opinions must be heard and respected by the school board and administration.

Protect Our Waters
Teton County’s septic system regulations are out of date and inadequate to protect something we often take for granted: our drinking and river water. Both our drinking water and river water are threatened. We need to update County septic regulations immediately and stop kicking the can down the road.

Respect Our Western Heritage.
I oppose moving the Rodeo Grounds. They are an integral part of our history and community. The central location is ideal for tourists in the summer and for other numerous community uses of the space. Moving the grounds will create massive traffic flows in the summer.

CAMPAIGN VALUES

  • Fiscal Responsibility

    I am a fiscal conservative. Your hard-earned tax dollars should be spent responsibly and transparently.

  • Economic Diversity

    We need to diversify the economy in Teton County. We need to think beyond tourism and foster meaningful job development to reflect our highly-educated, highly-committed community. I will draw upon my work as an investor and as a Silicon Couloir board member to foster entrepreneurship in Teton County and create new, knowledge based jobs to diversify our economy. Let’s create economic opportunities that keep our children and future generations coming back home.

  • Conservation

    I am an ardent conservationist. I hunt, ski, hike, and in general, am an avid outdoorsman. I am on the board of the Jackson Hole Land Trust and serve on an advisory council for the Teton Regional Land Trust. We should protect and steward the natural beauty in Teton County and Wyoming for this generation and future generations. Our scenic beauty attracts visitors and creates jobs that are an important pillar of our economy.

  • Respect and Compassion

    We are neighbors in a wonderful community. I am here to represent everyone in Teton County, and stand for respect and compassion for all.

  • Fresh Perspectives & New Ideas

    I’ve worked in the global economy for over 25 years, and see so much potential for Wyoming to have a vital place in it. The global economy is rapidly evolving, and we need fresh ideas and perspectives so that Wyoming does not get left behind. I strongly believe in private sector solutions and best practices to move our great state of Wyoming forward.
