| was born and raised here, worked 31 years in local law enforcement, and have proudly continued to serve Shasta County citizens for the past 12, years. I have always considered public safety our #1 issue, followed by fiscal responsibilty. | have taken an oath to uphold both the Constitution of the U.S. and State of California. The County is a subdivision of the state, thus is legally obligated to abide by the Governor-declared "State of Emergency”, even if | didn't fully agree with his “one size fits all approach.” Approximately 85% of our budget is controlled by the state, for programs/services that benefit all community members. During these challenging times, the Board and staff have worked diligently to ensure critical services remained in place, while working to protect the health and safety of over 180,000 county residents. My role is to serve and protect all citizens, and our financial future. We are moving forward here in Shasta County; our priorities remain 1, Safeguarding Public Safety 2. Promoting local business and industry expansion 3. Addressing homelessness, mental health issues, and drug addiction | will never stop serving my hometown, doing what's right for our ‘community and our County's future!
