Welcome

I am a high school teacher at Reynolds High School and a City Councilor for Troutdale. I have been teaching for 14 years in local schools, including Gresham High School, Corbett High School and Mount Hood Community College.

I am passionate about investing in our kids and protecting our future. I want to work for all Oregonians to promote equity and community, and to make the system fairer and more effective. I'm running for Oregon State Representative for District 49 to join our other legislators in supporting education, civil rights, environmental protection and smart government.

I would like to take a moment to recognize the ongoing calls for racial justice in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery, and the near-fatal shooting of Jacob Blake. It is essential that we recognize that these are not isolated incidents, but part of a pattern that goes back hundreds of years and is embedded deep in our society. We need to continue long term work for racial justice in law enforcement and the justice system and we can't be satisfied with superficial gains. As an ally, I will listen, collaborate and amplify the voices of people of color. As a policy maker, I will work on concrete steps to fight police violence and racism. The organization Campaign Zero recommends 10 policy steps that you can see on their website, some of which have already been enacted in Oregon. I look forward to continuing this work.
