- I helped secure approval of new Holiday Market at Higgins Corner and improvements to Combie Road.

Emergency Preparedness
Lead the community in all-hazards planning, preparedness, response, and recovery with a focus on wildfire; engage residents in emergency preparedness; create more defensible space around properties and roadways; and mitigate the impact of Public Safety Power Shutoff events.

Cannabis Control and Regulations
Work in partnership with the community to permit and maintain a safe and environmentally responsible cannabis industry. Cannabis Policy & Compliance helps maintain and improve the quality of the community by administering a fair and unbiased enforcement program to correct violations of cannabis codes and ordinances enacted by the board of supervisors.

- My focus continues to be on the need for increased enforcement.
- I support making the permit process as flexible and easy as possible, as well as permitting other aspects of the cannabis industry (aside from cultivation - e.g., distribution) that may have less impact on neighbors.
- I am very concerned about illegal grows and the impacts they have on neighbors.
Broadband Access
Equitably expand broadband to support economic development, distance-learning, telework, telemedicine, and general quality of life for all residents by championing the implementation of Nevada County Broadband Strategy Plan policies and last-mile infrastructure projects.
