Why I’m running:
In uncertain times, we all face challenging economic choices. This is no different for Linn County. I have gone to work and collected a paycheck for more than 30 years.  When I see that our elected leaders are career politicians, business owners or landed folk, I am inspired to stand up for the interests of hard working men and women in Linn County.  Business owners and politicians have different priorities than working folks, and we need a voice on the Linn County Board of Commissioners to look out for our interests. Linn County should be operated in the interests of the many, not for the benefit of the few.  For 30 years I have worked as a social studies teacher,  preparing students to be participants in our democracy. Now is the time for me to walk the talk and become involved in the process. I am an advocate for listening to all voices, and making the tough decisions for the betterment of our county. For the future of Linn County, I want to serve as Linn County Commissioner.
