Fiscal Responsibility
For the past three years, my opponent has treated public office like a personal opportunity instead of a public responsibility. The Board voting themselves a 58.9% raise while critical services struggle is the clearest example of that.
Fiscal responsibility isn’t about slogans; it’s about stewardship, restraint, and honesty with the people who earned the dollars we spend. Every budget should reflect the community’s priorities and be transparent enough for the public to see where their money is going — especially when decisions demand real public scrutiny.
Right now, the County’s General Fund is being used to quietly prop up the failing Health and Human Services (HHSA) agency , making the books look better than they are and putting vulnerable programs at risk. That’s not transparency, and it’s not conservative leadership.
As your Supervisor, I will end misleading financial practices, insist on clear reporting, and prioritize core services like public safety, prosecution, mental health, and infrastructure before political perks or self-approved pay raises. Fiscal integrity is the foundation for everything else we hope to build in Shasta County.
