“When elected, I will focus on lowering property taxes. Growth should sustain growth instead of current homeowners having to pay more just so more people can move into our communities. I will continue to work at stopping the proposed criminal reentry center from coming to Kootenai County. I will also work with my fellow legislators to draft a bill that requires state-wide agreement before the Governor can opt in to the federal refugee resettlement program again.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
