Voter ballots are out! A vote for me is a vote for someone who believes the roll of Assessor isn't just a job, it's a duty that is funded by your tax dollars. The value we assign to a property isn't just a number on a data sheet, its people's livelihoods. I believe that the most important role for the Assessor is to ensure all properties are assessed fairly and equitably.
I am not a career politician. In fact I chose to run as an independent with no party affiliation. Its important to me to show that the Assessor's office belongs to the people, not a political party. With that said, I’m running to bring common sense, active listening, and real solutions to my office.
Right now, my office is facing a crisis of high attrition and constant employee turnover. As many of you know and have likely experienced, when we lose good people, we lose all of their experience. Not only does that hurt our office here in the County, but it directly hurts the customer service that we are able to provide.
I believe in a balanced, fair workflow where work isn't dumped on a select few while others coast by. I believe in robust training, active guidance, and most importantly, showing up.
The County deserves an Assessor who is actually in the office, leading from the front. If I am out of the office, I will ensure that the person left in charge is fully capable, helpful, and ready to serve both our staff and the taxpayers.
I am proud to say that the timelines have finally begun improving recently. My opponent has been the Assessor for 12 years and the improvement has only now come to fruition.This is not the result of top down management. The success is because the dedicated staff and I rolled up our sleeves to create a solution, including putting in hundreds of hours of overtime, and building a streamlined, modern process from scratch. We did the heavy lifting to deliver a new level of data integrity ensuring everyone's property data is reliable, accurate, and fair.
I have been a proud union member for 10 years now, and I currently serve as my office’s Shop Steward. I will always fight to protect our contract language, respect seniority, and secure fair cost-of-living adjustments.
Let me make one thing absolutely clear, if I am elected, we will never use AI to generate your property values. Assessments require human judgment, local knowledge, and common sense. I will not let algorithms replace the vital human touch of experienced appraisers, and I will never allow AI to take away local jobs.
Please vote for me, the people's choice. Thank you all for the immense amount of support you all have given.
