NATALIE'S VISION FOR HUMBOLDT

"I am experienced in working in government, know how to get things done, and continue to find joy and satisfaction in serving the community. Now more than ever, we need data-driven decision-making, creative problem-solving and a willingness to take bold steps. I look forward to working with you to address our greatest challenges while continuing to uphold the culture, beauty, and ingenuity that makes Humboldt County such an incredible place to live!"

 

Please check back for updates about the current and emerging issues I will focus on. 

Transportation Safety 
As a region, we must assertively address the dangers of our most heavily-used roadways. I am committed to improving our roads and trails in ways that support pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and ADA needs.
Housing & Support for our Community to Stay Housed
We are faced with housing challenges that are beyond what we have housing stock to meet. I am committed to addressing the need for supportive housing, where people who need constant care and access to case management can live safely. I also believe we need to continually incentivize creation of housing for all income levels, with a special focus on people who have very limited access to housing now.
Building & Maintaining Strong Relationships

I have strong and productive working relationships with staff and decision makers within local, state and federal agencies and institutions in our community which I can leverage to find solutions. Our region needs creative and collaborative partnerships between the County of Humboldt and decision makers at every level of government as well as in the private sector. I have worked hard to build these relationships, and I will continue using them to benefit our community!

Innovative and Decisive Leadership  
I have a willingness to make bold decisions and try new techniques that are data-informed, while fine-tuning what is working well. I believe these qualities will help me lead our County with confidence.
Environmental Stewardship
Our natural resources are an incredible asset, and I am committed to protecting our environment and our quality of life. My breadth of experience in practical resource management means I will understand the complexities of environmental regulation along with potential impacts as our County grows and changes. I am committed to actions that reduce greenhouse gases and increase our resilience to climate change.
