There’s a certain kind of campaign that political insiders like to say can’t win. No war chest. No corporate backers. No establishment machine humming quietly in the background, writing checks and calling in favors. Just a candidate who believes that the people of this county deserve a real seat at the table — and neighbors willing to stand up and fight for it.
That’s exactly the kind of campaign this is.
We started with a simple idea: that a County Commissioner should actually represent the community they serve. Not special interests. Not deep-pocketed donors. Not a network of political insiders trading favors behind closed doors. You. The families, small business owners, farmers, workers, and everyday residents who make this county what it is — and who deserve a commissioner who shows up for them every single day.
So we built this campaign the old-fashioned way — one conversation at a time, one yard sign at a time, one small donation at a time. Our volunteers are your neighbors. Our budget is tight, and we’re proud of that, because every dollar we spend comes from real people in this community who believe their voice should count for something.
We’ve also made a promise that we want you to know about: we will never accept a single dollar from developers. Not now, not ever. County commissioners make decisions that shape how this community grows — what gets built, where it gets built, and who benefits. Those decisions should be guided by what’s right for the people who already live here, not by whoever wrote the biggest check. As long as we’re in this race and in this office, that line will never be crossed.
Our opponent doesn’t have that problem. According to media reports, they’re already sitting on over $360,000 in campaign funds. Read that number again. Three hundred and sixty thousand dollars — before this race has even hit full stride. That kind of money doesn’t come from bake sales and $25 donations. It comes with strings attached, with obligations owed, with a long list of people expecting something in return the moment the votes are counted.
We won’t pretend that’s not a significant advantage. It is. They can flood the airwaves, saturate your mailbox, and run a campaign operation we simply cannot match dollar for dollar.
But here’s what $360,000 cannot buy: a genuine connection to this community. Real accountability to the people you represent. The credibility that comes from never having taken a shortcut or a check that came with conditions.
And here’s what we’ve discovered running a true grassroots campaign — people are hungry for something real. They’re tired of county government that seems to work for everyone except the people who actually live here. They want a commissioner who listens first, who remembers where they came from, and who stays true to this community once they’re in office.
That’s the promise we’re making to you today.
Every dollar you contribute goes directly to reaching voters and carrying our message of genuine community representation across this county. No lavish fundraisers. No high-priced consultants. No developer money — ever. Just a focused, determined team that knows how to make every dollar count because we have to.
We’re not going to outspend them. We’re going to out-hustle them, out-work them, and out-connect them at every door, every event, and every corner of this county. And with your support, we’re going to win.
Donate today — $10, $25, $50, whatever you’re able — and become part of a campaign that proves this county still belongs to the people who call it home.
