Countdown to Election Day - Your Vote Matters!
VOTE VALENTINE []
Leadership Built on Principles, Not Politics
I believe government works best when it stays focused on its core responsibilities: protecting freedom, being a good steward of taxpayer dollars, and creating opportunities for families and businesses to thrive.
The government’s job is to set up the foundation for individuals to succeed and then get out of the way!
My approach to public service isn’t driven by political trends or special interests. It’s guided by common sense, constitutional principles, fiscal discipline, and a belief that the best decisions are made closest to the people they affect.
Whether serving on the Kennewick School Board or working to strengthen Benton PUD, I believe leaders need to stand on principles, listen, ask difficult questions, and make decisions based on facts, accountability, local impact, and long-term results.
Your vote matters. Get conservatives back in local government!
Accomplishments & Promises Kept!
Do you hate it when you work hard to get a person elected, and you have so much hope as they take office, but then nothing happens? 99% of people get into public office only to do nothing. I’m the 1%. I get things done! –> SEE HERE
This is what VOTING VALENTINE looks like!
Fiscal Responsibility
Every taxpayer dollar should be treated with respect. Responsible budgeting, transparency, and long-term planning create strong institutions and protect future generations.
Individual Responsibility
Strong communities are built by responsible individuals, engaged parents, thriving businesses, and citizens willing to serve.
Strong Families
Healthy families are the foundation of healthy communities. Parents deserve a meaningful voice in their children’s education and future.
Local Control
Communities know their own needs better than Olympia or Washington, D.C. Decisions should be made by the people closest to the issues.
Practical Leadership
Good leadership focuses on solving problems, not scoring political points. Common sense, and principles should always outweigh ideology.
Free Enterprise
Economic opportunity grows when entrepreneurs can innovate, businesses can succeed, and government removes unnecessary barriers instead of creating them.
Public Service
Rather than seeking office for its own sake, I’ve chosen opportunities where I can help strengthen the institutions that serve our community.
Coach and Mentor
Helping people grow in confidence, leadership, and purpose through practical guidance, encouragement, and real-world experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common sense means doing what 90% of people already know is right. Too many politicians are more concerned about activists, political parties, or special interests than the people they represent. Boys shouldn’t be in girls’ locker rooms. Government shouldn’t hand out taxpayer money like candy. We should question mandates coming out of Olympia instead of blindly accepting them. Local control matters because the people closest to the problem usually know the solution. And every elected official should remember who they work for—the voters.
Government should do a few things well instead of trying to do everything poorly. Its job is to provide essential services, protect our freedoms, maintain infrastructure, and be a good steward of taxpayer dollars. The answer to every problem isn’t another program, another tax, or another regulation. Government should empower people—not replace them.
Yes. The longer people are in government, or political positions, the more connections and deals they make. Politicians get less interested in doing the right thing and more interested in “not offending” their new friends.
Political personalities and school board members can become more interested in their own advancement, name recognition, and lifestyle than helping people who elected them.
As new members cycle in, so do new ideas, refreshing the system.
Because it isn’t the government’s money—it’s yours. Every dollar spent came from someone who got up early, worked hard, paid taxes, and trusted elected officials to spend it wisely. Government should budget the same way families do: live within your means, plan ahead, and don’t leave the next generation with the bill.
Because families are the core unit of society. The stronger the families, the stronger the communities. Individuals and families built this country, not government programs. Parents know their children better than bureaucrats ever will. Schools should educate, not parent. Strong families create strong communities, and public policy should strengthen families instead of replacing their role or pushing them aside.
I want my daughters to inherit a community that’s stronger than the one I inherited. Safe neighborhoods. Great schools. Affordable, reliable energy. Good jobs. Less government interference. More opportunity. A place where hard work is rewarded, families can succeed, and freedom is protected. If we’re making decisions that move us toward that future, we’re on the right track.
Complaining from the sidelines doesn’t change anything. At some point you either decide someone else should fix it, or you get involved. I chose to get involved. Let’s leave our community better than we found it.
