WHY I AM RUNNING
I am running for Bay County Treasurer in 2024 because Bay County is home. Growing up in Bay County I was instilled with a set of values to reach out and help my neighbors. Running for re-election as your Bay County Treasurer provides me with the opportunity to serve my fellow citizens of Bay County while using my experience and skill set to help improve my community.
The role of Bay County Treasurer serves two primary functions. The Treasurer oversees and receipts all monies collected by the county and invests those funds. The Treasurer’s office also collects delinquent taxes while overseeing the foreclosure process. The Treasurer is also the Chair of the Bay County Land Bank Authority as well as a Trustee of the Bay County Employees’ Retirement System. The position of Treasurer requires someone with a sense of compassion and empathy. While I have the statutory duty to collect delinquent property taxes and the foreclosure of properties when it is deemed necessary, I also have the opportunity to work directly with individuals who are in the greatest need. Our office is able to work directly with individuals in difficult situations to provide them with services and resources to avoid foreclosure and stay in their home. Furthermore, The Land Bank Authority Chairperson also has an opportunity to help improve the landscape of your city or township by removing blight and repurposing dilapidated parcels. This improves public health, reduces crime, and improves your property values.
