Candidate's Statement of Qualifications

I am running for re-election to the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors.  My background includes school teaching and administration.  I also worked as a talk show host for a local radio station.  From this work I honed skills which serve me well as a Supervisor.  One such skill is active listening.  Another is getting quickly to the task at hand.  My experience as an elected official in Tuolumne County goes back seventeen years, ten of which were served on the Sonora City Council.  From City government, I learned how to keep an open mind so as to gather the wisdom of different points of view.  The last seven years on the Board of Supervisors have taught me to consider the bigger picture when I cast my vote.  I believe my education, experience, and temperament qualify me to ably hold the job of District 1 Supervisor.
