and Clarke County since 1996, I appreciate the unique quality of life available to all who live here. As wife, mother, and businesswoman, I believe that it is important to preserve the things that make Clarke County a great place to live and raise a family. As a member of the Board of Supervisors, I will use my experience from the County Planning Commission and the Berryville Town Council to address the needs of all Clarke residents and businesses. I will work to keep taxes low while maintaining a high-quality public education system, supporting public safety efforts, and ensuring public services are managed effi ciently and effectively. I am prepared to meet the expectations of the Berryville District as we fi nd solutions that are good for Clarke County.
Clarke County must bring our emergency services and public schools up to the level
we need. In order to do this, we must commit to increasing revenue by fostering business growth in Berryville and Clarke County as a whole. My experience as a startup and as a small business owner have proven valuable in assisting clients, friends and others who run their businesses. During my tenure as a Town Councilor, we worked to simplify the business license process. Further, we worked with
the Economic
Development Authority, the Board of Supervisors, and the Governor of Virginia to make the expansion at Berryville Graphics a reality. Both the Town Council and the Planning Commission provided experience in the importance
of home-based
businesses and agri-business to maintaining our small town, rural environment.
We are
well-poised to move into the next decade as an economically secure,
top-tier local
with high quality public schools. My experience serving
community in
government uniquely
qualifi es me to promote a strong working relationship between the Town and the County for the benefi t of all Clarke citizens.

About Me
As a resident of Berryville, my wife Robin and I are raising four very challenging daughters.
I
am proud to call Clarke County home. People come, people go but communities stay! We are all just custodians of our time here and measured only by our contribution to the community as a whole.
local election is very simple – preserve our character, seek to improve our local government and represent the citizens of the Berryville
District fairly
amongst a board of my peers. During my extended service on the Planning Commission, various committee assignments and community boards over the past fi fteen years, I have developed a working relationship and gained the respect of our Board of Supervisors,
County staff
and the management team of the Town of Berryville. I am confi dent I can work within the structure of the Board as a voice of reason, not afraid to ask a diffi cult question and willing to hear all sides of any issue. There is however one exception, in that I cannot support ideas, policy decisions, text amendments or ordinances
