Here in this wonderful corner of Colorado, we’re writing the playbook for our future—a La Plata Way of Life.
It’s a vision for community-led solutions and self-sufficiency. I am grateful to have served you and LPEA over the past six years. During this time, I've worked diligently for you as the Board Treasurer, Chairperson of the Finance & Audit Committee, and on the Board of FastTrack. I am motivated by members’ desire to decide our own energy future, working conscientiously to provide affordable, local, clean energy while building the utility of the future. Nevertheless we've faced limitations in our progress from the restrictive long-term power contract with Tri-State (TSGT).
Despite these restrictions during my time at LPEA:
-
We reduced our emissions by over 10%.
-
We cut wholesale rates by 4%.
-
We returned $3-4 Million per year in capital credit refunds to you.
-
We kept controllable costs well below our peers.
-
We sold our subsidiary FastTrack Communications, returning funds to our members.
-
The 1.7MW Sunnyside Community Solar Garden began operating, offering locally generated solar power with reduced electric bills for income-qualified members.
-
We greatly improved system reliability.
With our recent vote to exit the restrictive power supply contract with TSGT on April 1, 2026, we can finally take control of our energy future by providing more local, clean, reliable, and affordable power. While LPEA has accomplished much during my tenure, more still needs to be done to meet our shared vision.
I am asking that you re-elect me so that I can apply the knowledge, experience, and wisdom I've gathered to make sure our transition into our energy future meets the promise it foretells.
With your vote, I will continue using my skills and relationships to enlist the entire community in designing our La Plata Way of Life. Together we will build the system all LPEA members deserve.
I'm running in District 4
