Meet Jim
A proud Moses Lake resident for nearly 30 years,
I am a dedicated family man, small business owner, and passionate community member. I have deep ties to the area, where my three kids were born and raised, and they have since blessed me with several grandchildren. Family is at the core of my life, and I cherish every moment spent with loved ones. As a lover of the outdoors and the sun, I enjoy golfing and grilling on the BBQ, often bringing friends and family together for good food and great conversation. I'm also a fan of exploring local restaurants, always eager to support the community’s wonderful dining scene. As a small business owner and manager, I have held manufacturing management positions in Moses Lake, always striving to improve the local economy and create job opportunities. My leadership and commitment to my work are matched only by my passion for making Moses Lake an even better place to live. Looking to the future, eager to partner with fellow community leaders and residents to make Moses Lake the best city in Washington.

Let’s Talk goals and vision
My vision is to build a city where safety comes first—a community where families feel secure in their homes, children can play freely in their neighborhoods, and every resident has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. We will create a safe, vibrant city that works for everyone, focusing on responsible growth, tackling homelessness, combating crime, and supporting local businesses while preserving our natural resources.
Goals:
​
-
Prioritize Community Safety: Ensuring the safety of our residents is our top priority. We will strengthen our police and emergency services, invest in community policing, and enhance neighborhood watch programs. Our goal is to create an environment where crime is reduced, and everyone feels safe in their homes and on their streets.
-
Homelessness: Homelessness is a complex issue, and we will take immediate action to provide shelter, support services, and pathways to long-term housing solutions. By collaborating with local organizations, we will connect people with the resources they need to rebuild their lives and reduce the strain on our community.
-
Address Gangs and Crime: We will work closely with law enforcement and local schools to target gang activity and prevent youth from being drawn into criminal behavior. Through after-school programs, job training, and stronger enforcement, we will reduce gang violence and create a safer, more secure environment for all.
-
Smart and Sustainable Growth: We will foster smart city growth that creates job opportunities, supports local businesses, and enhances our infrastructure while preserving our natural resources. By encouraging responsible development, we will ensure our city grows in a way that is sustainable, supports long-term economic stability, and keeps our neighborhoods safe and thriving.
-
Support Local Businesses and Job Retention: We will prioritize policies that retain existing jobs and encourage new business development. By supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses, we can create a strong, resilient local economy. We will also focus on workforce development to ensure that our residents have the skills needed to compete for jobs in an ever-changing job market.
-
Community Engagement and Empowerment: We will keep residents involved in decisions about their neighborhoods and the future of our city. We will regularly engage with local leaders, hold town hall meetings, and work together to ensure that everyone has a voice in shaping our community.
​
My goal is to create a safe, thriving community where public safety is always our first priority, where smart growth strengthens our economy, and where every resident has the chance to succeed in a secure, supportive environment. Together, we will build a future where everyone feels safe, valued, and empowered.
