“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent” -Thomas Jefferson.

I am running to stop further government takeover and inspire others into action. Running for office has never been a dream of mine, but watching American freedoms disappear a little at a time has forced me to step up.

“All politics is local.” -Tip O'Neill

Actions in Fairview, Oregon have an impact on our nation. Writing long and complicated sign ordnances, taking ownership of the public roads, and spending tax money foolishly all nibble away at the ideals of America.

I don't seek to change Washington DC, but rather keep Fairview, Oregon moving in the right direction. Re-electing politicians year after year is not good for the American ideals. More citizens must take part in local politics, else we will lose our freedoms to special interests, which work to get politicians re-elected.

My small part is to go first and commit myself to the office of City Councilor for four years. I ask that if you too have been frustrated with politicians over the last several years then remain silent no longer. Get involved and keep our nation and the City of Fairview “of the people.”
