1) Why do you want to be a county supervisor? What is your motivation for running?

To better serve the community in some of the areas where previous supervisors are lacking.

2) Have you previously run for elected office? If so, for what office(s)?

I have run for supervisor before against Larry Vest.

3) What distinguishes you from the other candidates in your primary race?

The amount of travels I do throughout the county on any given week I see many things in these travels that need address I feel.

4) What changes, if any, do you believe need to be made in Tama County government?

There needs to be a stipulation wrote up so these wind turbines can not be taking up good quality farm ground.

5) What challenges does Tama County face today that you would like to see addressed by the county board of supervisors? If elected, what would you do to help address those challenges?

Green energy stipulations.

6) Following the 2024 election, do you believe the county needs to return to a three-member board of supervisors? Why or why not?

No, the people voted for the five and we need to keep it that way unless the community people think otherwise.

7) The development of utility scale wind/solar energy projects in Tama County continues to be a divisive issue. What is your position and why regarding A) a possible wind and/or solar energy moratorium – temporary or otherwise, and B) property rights as it relates to utility scale wind and solar energy projects?

I am against the wind solar project we have some of the best dirt in the Midwest for farming and feeding the country and it need to stay in that production.

8) Why should people vote for you on June 4, 2024?

I am here to help the community and serve for the people of the county.
