Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I'm running for State Representative to help create a future where everyone has a fair shot at a prosperous future.
I am running to represent House District 22 because I believe we need to continue building an Oregon where all families are able to provide for themselves and their children. As your State Representative, I'll prioritize: Investing in our schools so we can reduce class sizes and restore programs, expanding access to affordable health care, ensuring that workers are able to get ahead, and making sure that all families have an affordable place to live.
