Prior Governmental Experience: State Representative, HD 49; Troutdale City Council
I have taught in local schools for 18 years. While serving in the legislature, I sponsored bills to support working families, expand access to health care, improve schools, grow local businesses and protect our natural resources. I’m asking for your vote to keep doing this important work.
Supporting Students
Every student deserves quality schools and teachers. As vice-chair of the House Committee on Education, I championed legislation to help students with disabilities and to repair and improve school buildings and facilities, and I fought to increase funding in the K-12 education budget.
Fighting Addiction and Homelessness
Oregon needs both treatment and enforcement to help people recover from addiction, and we need to fight homelessness by not only helping people find housing, but making sure they don’t lose it in the first place. In the legislature, I voted for bills to get drugs off our streets, expand treatment and prevent overdose deaths. I also worked to protect renters, help first-time homebuyers, and increase Oregon’s housing supply.
Protecting the Environment
Oregon is on track to a sustainable future, and we can get there if we invest in clean energy infrastructure and jobs. Last session I led the fight to to protect air, soil and water from factory farming, and I worked to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and develop renewable energy.
