"A long time resident of the district, I have been involved in logging, fishing, farming, teaching, government, technology and small business ownership. Equally as important as understanding the specific needs of our community through personal experience, is a dedication to serving the community, being able to work with various organizations, and a willingness to listen to different opinions."
