Why Am I Running for Portage County Executive?

As a County Board supervisor who has served on eighteen county committees, boards and commissions and as chair of the County Finance Committee, I have proven that I can manage Portage County effectively while being accountable to the taxpayers. I would like to continue my service to our community by becoming the next County Executive.
