Real Results — Not Promises

Cut homelessness 65%

Stopped I-205 tolling

Helped overturn Measure 110

Fully funded law enforcement

Expanded recovery services

Protected property rights

Focused on What Matters

Stop Higher Costs

I’m standing with local families to stop the gas tax and oppose new tolls and tax increases.

Keep Communities Safe

We fully funded law enforcement and built real systems to address addiction and crime.

Real Solutions That Work

We reduced homelessness and expanded recovery services — with real results, not theories.

Service You Can Trust

I’ve spent my life in service — as a cardiology nurse, Navy Reserve officer, foster dad, and your County Commissioner.
I’m a sixth-generation Oregonian, and this is home.

I approach this job the same way I always have:
Focus on the problem. Work with people. Get results.
