The County will continue to face the realities of an unstable supply chain, the rising cost of gas, high inflation, and rising wages in the near future. Some economists have predicted it will take an additional two years for the supply chain and labor market to stabilize. During this time of increasing inflation, looming interest rate hikes, and a potential recession, we need to ensure we do not place additional economic burdens on residents by increasing tax revenues. The County will need to take innovative approaches in order to combat these challenges. I have served as a Chief Financial Officer and understand the importance of budgeting and appropriation of funds. I will bring these experiences to help manage, adapt, and balance our County’s budget.
