Bill’s record of service

Our common ground.

Somersett is an outdoor life: trails through the foothills, wild open space, and Peavine on the horizon. This is what we share, and what we will protect together.

Places this beautiful stay beautiful because people take care of them. In Somersett, that’s us.

A community that takes care of itself.

Years ago, Somersett took on the challenge of self-management. As the father of self-management in Somersett, I can say that through diligent oversight and careful spending, that decision saved the association hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It is one of the best things this community has done for itself. Neighbors who look after what they own, and a board that answers directly to the people it serves: that is the Somersett I believe in. A well-run Somersett also keeps everyone’s home values as high as they can be.

Good governance requires distinguishing between needs and wants.

Needs first.

My priorities for Somersett, in the order they should be funded.
