Governance Style

1) Engagement is key. Your elected officials are just that - yours. I work diligently to respond to every email, text message, and phone call I receive. I appreciate the opportunity to answers questions and take suggestions. I take pride in always being respectful and considering the views of all of my constituents.​​

​​

2) Collaboration is imperative. Every issue involves at least two parties. All have a right to be heard. I bring stakeholders together find the best solutions to the issues that face our county.

​​​

3) Respecting property rights is critical. We all have rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, including property rights. The role of government is to protect those rights. As your commissioner, I have listened to public input on land use issues and honored the county's General Plans. When a proposal doesn't match our General Plan, my goal is always to look at the broader picture and consider a broad approach to revisiting the plan in its entirety. Exceptions should not be the rule.

My grandfather, Jack Arrington, inspired my interest in serving my community. I learned great lessons from my grandpa about elected public service. I observed many conversations in which he patiently listened to his constituents and then explained his own views. At times they agreed, at times they did not. But he respected the opinions of those who had elected him and gave careful consideration to differences. Ultimately, he always acted on his values. He believed that those values were the reason he was elected. This is the pattern I have followed as your Weber County Commissioner.
