My Top 3 Priorities

  • I will prioritize holding special interests accountable, ensuring the newly created Department of Tax and Fee Administration collects and distributes taxes equally
  • Increase public input in how taxpayer dollars are spent, for instance by advocating to make the Tax Payer Bill of Rights hearing occur quarterly
  • Ensure all individuals and businesses, regardless of which county they’re in, are guaranteed an equitable tax rate
