Business Leaders Meet w/ Candidate, Discuss Economic Development

I am holding a virtual business leader discussion – Sunday, February 27th at 4PM. Register now at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_CnlPt1eYTpaLheLakz3KTQ

Please review my page on Economic Development prior to meeting, if possible. Doing this homework will be helpful for a robust discussion! I am looking forward to meeting with local business leaders. County Government – by nature of its service profile – is an important partner in economic development. If you are a business owner or manager – be aware that I would like to drill into your specific concerns, questions and recommendations.

I want the business community to experience that I am available for questions and concerns. As a Commissioner I want to keep the business specific dialogue agile and open. It is difficult for business owners to find time to voice their views at 10 AM every Wednesday for a County Commissioner meeting. I will show up at a time that works for you. Consider this meeting a first of many to come at times and dates that may vary as the community needs flexibility to meet.

Prior to working for the County I spent many years marketing and advertising local businesses. For over ten years I had one on one relationships with owners and managers trying to survive, thrive and support their families as small businesses. I recall fondly many discussions and strategies to bring new business through the doors.

Making the leap into owning a small business REALLY brought the reality into the fold. Owning a small business included some of the most liberating moments of my professional career. I was fortunate to take those skills into my current position at the County. But, I often missed the freedom and the risk. Running for County Commissioner is an opportunity for me to recapture the vitality! Although, as a Commissioner, the responsibility is arguably much more than what I once experienced as an entrepreneur and start up.

County Government is a fundamental facilitator of economic development in Lincoln County. This discussion is an opportunity for local business owners and managers to explore specific topics that relate to their businesses and explore the support they might need from the County Commission. I hope you can make time for a discussion!

Campaign Themes Announced

Greetings Lincoln County! Please find my core themes as a candidate for Lincoln County Commissioner – Position #1.

Some people are concerned I am “oversharing” and that I should create a separate website for this election. However, I am largely confident that the content of this website will provide much context for who I am as a person. I believe that matters! May our community explore these pages and begin to understand what makes me tick as person outside of the election and in life.

My core themes are Customer Service, Communications/Community Engagement, Emergency Preparation, and a Thriving Community. My interests and priorities are not limited to these categories. My sense is that we do need a place to start the conversation! No doubt, I will be expanding on these positions as time moves forward. I will be especially expanding on the theme I call “thriving” because it is a “meta subject/theme” and has many dimensions to explore.

Thank you to my MOM for taking several “campaign” photos… I know this will probably drive her nuts that I even mentioned it! I love her so and appreciate that an election creates new opportunities to spend time together.

Also, PLEASE take a moment and provide your comments on the COUNTYWIDE SURVEY. Many of your are posting to Facebook – that is fantastic! Any feedback is appreciated… But, the survey makes it easier for me to track your priorities from a clerical perspective. Please consider completing the survey.

In the coming months I will be responding to the survey and social media with video responses. I believe this will the easiest way for me to expedite answers to your questions and give you a more visceral idea of who I am, what my demeaner is like and how I respond to your inquiries.
