John has been the San Juan County Assessor since 2015.  He is one of our closet counties in Washington State and he shares Kelly's commitment to professional assessment practices that are fair, transparent, and accurate. 

"There is more to being a good Assessor than knowing how to appraise a house.  The role demands leadership, the ability to build systems that make the office run better, working effectively in county government, and knowing how to bring the public into the conversation. Kelly has shown over the last 4 years that he understands the difference between technical skills and what it really takes to run an effective office."

"One thing I've learned as the Benton County Assessor is that this job extends far beyond technical appraisal knowledge.  Kelly brings all of that.  He has the appraisal skills, but what stands out most is his leadership and operational experience.  Washington needs more elected officials who understand both the work and the people they serve"
