Independent Leadership. Professional Stewardship. Balanced Solutions.
My family proudly chooses to live, work, and play in Central Washington.
Chelan PUD is entering a critical era. Rapid regional growth, increasing energy demands, and complex water resource challenges require leadership that understands the big picture, navigates the fine print, and keeps our community’s interests at the center of every decision.
As a longtime resident raising a family here in Chelan County, I am running for PUD Commissioner to bring a steady hand, over 20 years of professional experience, and a deep commitment to the stewardship of our shared public utilities.
The Right Expertise For Our PUD’s Future
Chelan PUD is truly “owned by the people we serve.” My priority is preserving local public control, safeguarding our landscapes, and keeping our power affordable and reliable — ensuring our decisions remain rooted right here in our community.
I bring a proven track record of regional leadership to deliver on that promise:
20+ Years of Professional Expertise: I specialized in agricultural, business, and water law here in the Wenatchee Valley. This background brings a comprehensive insight to the policy and regulatory complexities facing our utility grid, alongside a lifelong commitment to supporting our natural resources and our community.
Proven Fiduciary Accountability: I bring extensive experience managing complex operations and balancing multi-million dollar budgets. This hands-on background enables me to effectively support the rigorous financial discipline that protects our local ratepayers and keeps our public utility stable and secure.
Community Partnership: I have spent decades in community-first nonprofit leadership bringing stakeholders together across agricultural, environmental, and civic sectors to achieve practical, balanced solutions for our region.
“My focus is to proactively meet growing grid demands while keeping our public power affordable and reliable, ensuring our region remains a resilient, thriving place for generations to come.”
