My wife Heather and I have enjoyed meeting so many of you while out and about throughout Linn County. It is important to actually ask you for your vote, so I want to make that request of you now. I humbly ask for your support in re-election as your Linn County Treasurer. It is honor to have your support & trust!

Hawkeye Labor Council’s Labor Day picnic. Several thousand union members and their families enjoying hot dogs, ice cream, and music….with some politicians as well 🤓 I staffed my Treasurer’s booth along with my wife Heather.

Unfortunately, my opponent has failed to respond to repeated invitations to participate in the September 22nd LWV candidates forum to answer basic questions about the public office he seeks. Therefore we will not be having a local office session for the people to engage with their county candidates for public office. I have always participated in these LWV forums along with the Gazette EBoard sessions and firmly believe that one should be answerable to the public when seeking an office of public trust. My opponent also failed to timely file his paperwork for election and had to be nominated by convention to cover up that glaring error in his filing. The Linn County Treasurer’s Office handles over a half-billion dollars a year in public monies and someone who can’t get the paperwork right for his election or bother to respond to the public or show up to a candidates forum should NOT be considered a serious person deserving of the public’s trust as their Linn County Treasurer. I take this office and it’s responsibilities seriously, putting the very best personnel in place to run your motor vehicle and property tax departments. I humbly ask for your vote for re-election and I remain open to anyone who has questions or would like to make sure their Treasurer’s office is under responsible and accountable leadership.

🚨 Endorsement Alert 🚨

There are few endorsements that mean more than the one from the person who knows you best.

For nearly every day of the last four years, my wife Heather has had a front-row seat to this job. She has seen the early mornings, the difficult decisions, and the genuine joy I find in serving the people of Linn County.

She has also seen how much I care about the responsibility entrusted to our office. Safeguarding more than half a billion dollars in taxpayer funds, leading an outstanding team of 38 public servants, and continually looking for ways to improve customer service isn't just my job...it's a responsibility I take to heart.

Together, our team has:
✅ Reduced wait times.
✅ Introduced appointments for all services.
✅ Expanded convenient online transaction options.
✅ Built a professional, customer-focused culture that serves the public with pride.

Heather's support means more to me than I can put into words because it comes from someone who has seen both the public servant and the person behind the title.

Thank you, Heather, for believing in me, for your constant encouragement, and for sharing this journey with me. I couldn't do it without you.

I would be honored to earn your vote and the opportunity to continue serving the people of Linn County as your Treasurer.

Thank you for your trust and support.
