Taxpayer dollars should be treated with the same care that families and businesses use when managing their own budgets.

I SUPPORT:

• Reducing wasteful spending and unnecessary bureaucracy

• Prioritizing projects that provide clear benefits to residents

• Evaluating programs based on results and accountability

• Long-term planning that protects the county’s financial future

  Los Alamos County is fortunate to be in a strong financial position. We should use those resources wisely by investing in infrastructure, public safety, community services, and projects that improve daily life for residents.

  “We should be investing in our community—not spending money simply because it is available.”

Residents deserve a government that is open, accessible, and willing to listen.

• Too often, important decisions reach the County Council after much of the discussion has already taken place. Public input should happen early in the process—not after decisions are largely finalized.

  I SUPPORT:

  • Greater public involvement during the planning stages of major projects

  • Improved communication between county leadership and residents

  • Clear explanations of county priorities and spending decisions

  • Making government easier to understand and participate in

  Good government begins with trust, and trust is built through transparency.

  “Residents deserve a seat at the table from the beginning—not just an opportunity to comment at the end.”

A healthy community depends on a healthy local economy.

Small businesses create jobs, provide services, and help make Los Alamos and White Rock a vibrant place to live. County government should be a partner—not an obstacle—to local businesses.

I SUPPORT:

• Streamlining permitting and inspection processes where possible

• Identifying and removing unnecessary barriers to business growth

• Supporting entrepreneurship and innovation

• Encouraging economic diversification that strengthens our local economy

  When local businesses succeed, the entire community benefits.

  “If we want a strong economy, we must make it easier—not harder—for people willing to invest in our community.”

Strong communities require access to quality healthcare.

As Los Alamos County grows, we must ensure that families have access to the medical services they need close to home. Concerns about reductions in healthcare services affect not only patients but also our ability to attract families, professionals, and businesses to the community.

I SUPPORT:

• Advocating for access to essential healthcare services

• Working with healthcare leaders to understand community needs

• Supporting efforts that attract and retain healthcare professionals

• Recognizing the connection between healthcare, quality of life, and economic growth

A growing community deserves a strong healthcare system.

Growth should be planned carefully and responsibly.

Many families, young professionals, teachers, first responders, and workers struggle to find housing that fits their needs and budget. Addressing housing challenges is critical to maintaining a strong workforce and vibrant community.

I SUPPORT:

• Exploring housing solutions that meet a variety of community needs

• Removing unnecessary obstacles that delay housing development

• Ensuring infrastructure keeps pace with growth

• Protecting the character and quality of life that make Los Alamos County unique

Growth should benefit the entire community and prepare us for the future.
