Residents and local leaders told state regulators that Xcel’s Public Safety Power Shutoffs shift costs and risk onto communities and public safety.

Weld County is the number one producer of oil and gas in the state with 89% of all crude oil production and one-third of all natural gas production in Colorado coming from this county. I fully support domestic energy exploration and production and the utilization of safe and proven technologies to maximize energy production. I respect and honor subsurface property rights and the owner of that property to exercise their associated rights within the confines of Weld County code and Colorado statute.
I also embrace the renewable energy future and am excited about technological advancements in wind, solar, bio, and other renewable energies. I believe Weld County should have an “all the above”energy strategy and should reflect this strategy in land use planning, county codes, and economic development opportunities.
In Energy, I’m honored to continue to work hard and do what is #RightForWeld.
