Hey North Coast family,

We're in a bit of a pickle, aren't we? Between politicians and bureaucrats who seem out of touch with our way of life, to extreme policies that hit our local businesses and our proud timber, fishing, and farming sectors hard. It's like they've forgotten who keeps the economy buzzing.

I'm here to fight for our economy, our kids, our safety, and our rights. It's about keeping the North Coast a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Let's roll up our sleeves and get to work.

Together, we've got this.

PUTTING THE NORTH COAST FIRST

  • 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. Ronald Reagan had it right when he talked about the boundless potential of Americans. Let's unleash that here.

  • 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.

  • Then there's the spike in crime. "Defund the police"? Not on my watch. 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.

  • And about the drug crisis and homelessness – we need a balanced approach. I was proud to pass Measure 110 reforms , but let's not stop there. 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.

  • At the heart of it all we must lead with compassion. That’s why I voted to expand services to pregnant women while also standing firm on protecting unborn lives when they are most vulnerable with reasonable exceptions to protect mothers.
