Lewis County Commissioner • District 3
As a veteran, public servant, and neighbor, I’m running for Lewis County Commissioner, District 3 to bring practical leadership, common sense, and a commitment to our rural way of life.
Protect what we inherited. Build what they deserve.

Priorities
Support law enforcement, fire, EMS, emergency management, and better coordination across agencies serving rural communities, visitors, and remote recreation areas.
Plan safer rural pathways, practical shoulder improvements, gravel paths, improved crossings, and long-term transportation connections across East Lewis County.
Protect the land, water, forests, outdoor heritage, small businesses, and community character that make District 3 unique.
Use working forests, renewable energy, transportation access, outdoor recreation, rural industry, and responsible private investment to support family-wage jobs and stronger county services.
Explore opportunities like forest products, woody biomass, value-added manufacturing, and a responsible bioeconomy model that can create jobs and fund infrastructure.
Residents should understand what is being proposed, why it matters, what the tradeoffs are, and how decisions affect families, businesses, land, roads, taxes, and communities.
District Tree Talk
In aviation and the military, the phonetic alphabet exists because clarity matters. “Three” becomes “Tree” so everyone hears the same message the same way.
That same mindset should apply to local government. Tim’s District Tree Talk updates focus on the issues that matter across District 3: public safety, roads, EMS, growth, recreation pressure, infrastructure, stewardship, and county finances.
Read updates on FacebookEast Lewis County deserves thoughtful long-term planning that keeps our rural character intact while making our communities safer, healthier, and more connected.
