CITY OF TROUTDALE - City Council, Position #1
LORA LAWRENCE
OCCUPATION: Partner, wife, and mother, in a dynamic and diverse household.
OCCUPATIONAL BACKGROUND: Positions of leadership in our local church, including President of the Young Women's Association; marketing and membership in a wholesale club; AMI micro-chip fab operator.
EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND: The school of life has taught me survival and the importance of family, community, principle, and character. My parents taught me integrity, honesty, and gratitude. I attended Seattle Community College and graduated from Highland High School.
PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: No public office.
My family. Jeff and I have lived in Troutdale since 1991. We have five children. I have been an active public school volunteer. Both of us want a sustainable future for our children.
Fresh perspective. We need some fresh perspective on our City Council. We have lawyers, business men, politicians, and reruns, but we also need fresh perspective and balance. I have experienced the best and worst that Troutdale has to offer, from its police department to its community schools. I hope to retire and raise my grand-children here. I will provide the fresh perspective and balance that our City Council needs.
Truly independent. Although I have lived in Troutdale for 19 years, I do not owe any of the local interests any special favors, and I do not have any pet projects that I'm hoping to get through. I will bring independence to the Troutdale City Council.
City Council is not a boys club. I am not intimidated by lawyers or business men. The school of life and a willingness to serve qualify each of us for non-partisan service on the City Council. Like a juror in a trial that impacts real lives and property, I will make informed and responsible decisions and honor this stewardship. I will always stand up for what I believe is right, and I will always tell you the truth.
