Get StartedWe need to do everything in our power to stand up for those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. That includes working to improve access to services for veterans, which in our area can often require driving great distances to reach. Our state should partner with rural counties to improve access for our veterans. As your state representative, I will support the renewal of the Senior and Disabled Referral Program, which provides property tax deferrals for those who have served. Learn more
My priority is creating and protecting jobs for local working families. We need our elected leaders to promote good ideas like the Jordan Cove Energy Project, which will bring hundreds of jobs to our community. I will also work to support our oppressed forestry, farming and fishing jobs, which are the backbone of our community. Learn more
Governor Kate Brown and her Department Education staff have a one-size-fits-Portland approach that is out of touch with coastal families. We need solutions that ensure that our tax money goes directly to teachers and into classrooms. Learn more
I know firsthand the struggles our teachers have in a system that is often failing our kids. They need more support and resources to teach kids, especially in rural areas like ours. Learn more
Now more than ever it’s critical that our rural healthcare system receives the resources it needs. Portland continues to be a priority in Salem while our coastal communities are left behind. I will fight to make sure you get your money’s worth from your tax dollars in our local healthcare system. Learn more
As your Representative, I will vote NO on policies that don’t fit our district. I would have been a NO vote on Cap and Trade, which would have caused prices for fuel and goods to skyrocket with little to no benefit to our environment. I would have voted NO on the tax on Oregon sales, which already is leading to an increase in cost of living, including the cost of public education. Learn more
