Completing my first four year term as Port Commissioner
What makes you the best candidate (300 words or less)?
I am committed to a goal to responsibly protect, manage, and grow the Ports assets and to create a positive economic and social benefit to the region that we serve while balancing fiscal, environmental, and community responsibility. As a 77 year resident of my Port District I have watched our Port grow from an idea to help the growing commercial fishing industry to the economic driver we have today. The tax payers of the port district are entitled to a return on their investment. I am committed to this goal without ever having to collect taxes again.
