As a lifelong resident of Hanford, I am dedicated to serving the needs of Kings County.  I have been active in our community for many years.  As a 16 year trustee of Pioneer Elementary School District, I was instrumental in helping the school become the first charter school district in California. Since 2005, I have owned and managed the only fully occupied commercial property in California.  Having served as the Kings County District 3 Supervisor for the past four years, I feel qualified and obligated to continue to work toward the goals of the current board and administration.  I am dedicated to representing our County's residents at the local, state and federal levels.  During my tenure on the Board of Supervisors, I have been extremely active in the fight against the mismanaged high speed rail and protecting the rights to water for all valley residents.  In 2013, I was named Agriculturist of the Year by the Lemoore Chamber of Commerce in recognition of my contribution to the agricultural community.
