I’ve spent my life in service — as a cardiology nurse, a Navy Reserve officer, a foster dad, and your Clackamas County Commissioner.
I’m a sixth-generation Oregonian, and this is home.
That’s how I approach this job:
Focus on the problem. Work with people. Get results.
Since taking office in 2022, we’ve focused on the issues that matter most to Clackamas County families:
These aren’t talking points — they’re results.
Before I took office, we were seeing the same problems getting worse:
So we changed direction.
We built a recovery-first system of care, created real infrastructure for treatment, and focused on getting people off the streets and back on their feet.
Because I believe something simple: Recovery is possible — and it should be the goal.
Families in Clackamas County are already feeling the pressure of rising costs.
That’s why I’ve consistently pushed back on:
I’ve worked alongside local leaders and community members to keep Clackamas County financially stable, accountable, and affordable.
A strong community depends on a strong local economy.
I’ve worked to:
From manufacturing to agriculture, we’re focused on keeping opportunity here at home.
Public safety is not optional.
We fully funded law enforcement and made sure first responders have the resources they need to do their jobs.
At the same time, we built real solutions to address addiction and mental health — so we’re not just responding to problems, we’re solving them.
I don’t approach this job as a politician.
I approach it like I have every role in my life:
That’s how we’ve made progress — and it’s how we’ll keep moving forward.
