Affordable housing is the backbone of a thriving community. Too many of our neighbors face the challenge of finding a place to call home that doesn't break the bank. As Commissioner, I will prioritize the development of affordable housing options and work to streamline processes for responsible housing development.

Preserving our farm and public lands
Our farm lands are crucial to our economy and need to be protected. Preserving farmland ensures a stable food supply for current and future generations.
Farm and public lands contribute to local economies through agricultural production, tourism, and recreational activities. Preserving these lands can support job creation, small businesses, and overall economic stability in rural areas.

In 1915 my great grandparents, Marvin Gillespie Shields and Marion (May) Sagers Shields moved to a homestead in Red Cap, now Arcadia. My grandmother, Harriet Gladys Shields Ross was only ten years old at the time. The family lived in a tent and sheep camp for a while until they could afford to board up the tent and build a two room log home with a dirt floor and a dirt roof. Once the family was better off, they purchased 80 acres on the hill and built a larger two room log home on it. There was a lot to do to eke out a living. The family had a lot of hard work ahead of them in clearing the brush, plowing, harrowing, and planting crops. The people of Arcadia became like family and were very special to them.
At the age of 18 my grandmother married Francis Marion Ross, whose family had migrated to Red cap in 1909, and they eventually had seven children: Loryn, Orlene, Shirley, Leon, Larry, Allen Dale, and Lanny Ross. Allen Dale tragically drowned in a nearby canal when he was only 22 months old.
Marion and Gladys bought 80 acres in Pleasant Valley in 1954. They built a lovely eight room brick home on the property–this was the first time that the family had indoor plumbing. At one time or another, all of their boys owned their own farms in Pleasant Valley.
I am proud of my heritage. I am proud to say that I was born and raised in the Uintah Basin. I now have a couple children and grandchildren who live and work in Duchesne County. I want to make sure that Duchesne County remains one of the best places in Utah. I will listen to you and work hard to see that happen.
