As your representative I will work to address these key issues:
County Budget Crisis
Monroe County has slightly lowered its tax rate using short-term gimmicks that compromise long-term financial stability, while increasing the tax levy yearly. Monroe County’s available fund balance is a tiny percentage of anticipated expenditures, leaving the county virtually broke.
Fulfilling Our Commitments
It's time for new leadership that focuses on people and fulfills our commitments to our community. This includes fully funding early intervention services to ensure our youngest citizens receive the educational services they are legally entitled to and keeping our commitments to our retirees.
Opioid Epidemic
2018 saw a decrease in opioid deaths in Monroe county for the first time since 2015. We must build on the success of the Monroe County Heroin Task Force, implemented under Sheriff Baxter, by proactively supporting prevention and treatment.
