Consistently ranked in the top ten agricultural counties in the nation, Weld County is an agriculture bastion of 2.5 million acres, 75% devoted to farming and raising livestock. With over 3,000 farms, Weld’s agricultural products annually create over $1 billion in market value. Weld County’s agricultural heritage reigns supreme and I fully support the county’s ag roots and its right to farm policies.

I honed my work ethic on the feedlots and ranches around my hometown of LaSalle. After high school graduation, I was elected State Vice President of the Colorado FFA Association where it was my honor to represent Colorado agriculture and agriculturalists both state and nationwide.

I am a proponent of policies that support the agriculture industry and protect the rights of private property owners to convert their lands to other desired and appropriate land uses while protecting and honoring the rural lifestyle and heritage of Weld County.

In 2020, I was honored to work on and vote for an updated Weld County Comprehensive Plan and changes to Weld County’s land-use code that further protects agriculture and prime farmland. I also recognize and am supportive of land use policies that allow landowners to develop mineral and energy resources that allow them to continue agriculture production on their property.

In Agriculture, I’m honored to continue to work hard and do what is #RightForWeld.
