What do you see as the primary responsibilities of a precinct committeeman, and why are you interested in serving in this position?

I see this role as being someone who will advocate for Smelterville’s voices to be heard. 

I’m interested in serving because this is home. I grew up in Shoshone County and am raising my kids here.  I care about the people here, and I want to be someone who helps keep the community connected and represented. 

How would you work to engage voters, support party organization, and represent your precinct’s concerns at the county or district level?

I will engage voters by checking in with people, having conversations, and advocating.  

To support the party, I will stay involved and communicate openly and honestly in my advocacy. For Smelterville, it starts with listening, then doing my best to speak up for what matters to people here
