As a Councilman and Mayor, I have had successes bringing recycling to every house and business, leading the ban on plastic bags, and introducing the compost program. I have helped preserve open space, voted for dedicated bus lanes and electric buses, worked for construction and demolition waste diversion. I support securing water rights, reducing greenhouse emissions, and preserving our natural surroundings.

Pitkin County has a rural, mining, and agricultural history alongside the commercial, residential and urban centers. With respect for the influence of global wealth and acquisition in our valley, we must preserve the character and quality of life, while preparing for changing community dynamics.
