I would like to thank the community for their support in this primary election. My family and I have learned so much, and we have met so many good people through the campaign process. I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue to serve the people of Tooele County as the county surveyor. I love the surveying profession, I love Tooele County, I love this Country.
It is good to be reminded to whom I work for and to whom I need to be accountable to. It is my great hope, to continue to improve the surveying department, continue to bring things up to date, and continue to address the many land issues that have plagued the county for many years.
Thanks again- Doug

What is a Land Surveyor...
Since beginning our campaign journey, we have been surprised to learn how many people don't really know what a Land Surveyor does. I found a simple, but encompassing definition:
DEFINITION OF LAND SURVEYING
Land surveying is the practice of the science of measurement; the assembly and assessment of land and geographic related information; the use of that information for the purpose of planning and implementing the efficient administration of the land, the sea and structures thereon; and the instigation of the advancement and development of such practices.
The practice of land surveying may involve one or more of the following activities which may occur either on, above or below the surface of the land or the sea and may be carried out in association with other professionals.
The determination of the size and shape of the earth and the measurement of all data needed to define the size, position, shape and contour of any part of the earth’s surface.
The positioning of objects in space and the positioning and monitoring of physical features, structures and engineering works on, above or below the surface of the earth.
The determination of the position of the boundaries of public or private land, including national and international boundaries, and the registration of those lands with the appropriate authorities.
The design, establishment and administration of land and geographic information systems and the collection, storage, analysis and management of data within those systems.
The study of the natural and social environment, the measurement of land and marine resources and the use of the data in the planning of development in urban, rural and regional areas.
The planning, development and redevelopment of property, whether urban or rural and whether land or buildings.
The production of plans, maps, files, charts and reports.
In the application of the foregoing activities, the relevant legal, economic, environmental and social aspects affecting each project shall be taken into account.

Campaign tips from the "Campaigning Team"...
We have involved our family from the very beginning of this campaign, we felt it would be good for our kids to know the election process and what it takes to get involved in our local government. We have included all our children, but our local "get it done" team consists of Jeri (the Mom), Chance (14) and Jaxon (11). We were having a team meeting and throwing around some campaigning ideas, these were the best and definitely worth sharing-
1. While pulling into the parking lot at the Stockton Station, Chance says " What you need to do Dad, is put a big sign on that guys barn over there". ( I am sure it would be appreciated by the barn owner and viewable only from that one parking spot at the Station).
2. Another suggestion-Jaxon and I will get a really tall pair of stilts and stand on Main Street holding a sign across the street so the cars can go under and read the sign.
3. This being the best one, and one I hope he will use- Chance says" Dad what you need to do is set up a kissing booth in the park".
Thanks Team Doug!!

"I KNOW Doug would have it in the bag if he would implement any or all of these wise suggestions." -Jeri-
Thanks Team Doug!!
