Let’s be honest, our district deserves more than policies cooked up in Salem that don’t fit how life really works here. Whether it’s healthcare stretched too thin, classrooms that need support, housing that’s out of reach, or local businesses navigating red tape, the people holding things together are the ones too often overlooked.

But here’s what gives me hope: we’ve got grit. We’ve got tourism that draws the world to our doorstep, educators who care deeply about kids, healthcare workers who show up even when it’s hard, and families who roll up their sleeves every day. That’s the backbone.

If we stay true to that spirit, practical, hardworking, committed to one another, and if we keep putting people before politics, we can keep this district not just afloat, but thriving.

Stronger Together

  • Our small businesses and industries aren't just the backbone of our economy; they're our neighbors and friends. They're facing an uphill battle against a sea of taxes, regulations, and bans. Ever feel like shouting, "Enough!"? Me too. That's why I'm all in on cutting red tape and championing policies that let our local economy thrive.

  • Moving on to our schools – it's no secret that things could be better. While everyone else seems to be bouncing back, our kids are stuck in a rut. Suspending graduation requirements? That's not the answer. School choice is. It's time we give every family the opportunity to choose what's best for their child. Because let's face it, one size doesn't fit all, especially when it comes to education.

  • The safety of our community is non-negotiable. I've been working to make sure our law enforcement has what they need and that our laws protect law abiding Oregonians. It's about making our neighborhoods places where we can all feel safe and secure.

  • We need to get tough on the bad actors while helping those who want to turn their lives around. And when it comes to homelessness, let's use both the carrot and the stick. We've got resources and good folks ready to help, but it's also about accountability.

  • Ever feel like your wallet's in a vice? Between sky-high utility bills thanks to green mandates and rent control making things worse, it's tough out there. I'm pushing for solutions that make living here more affordable, because Oregon should be a place where everyone can thrive.
