I am truly grateful for the opportunity to serve as Multnomah County Commissioner for District 1. Our employees and partners have a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge. I look forward to working together with them to solve our community’s toughest challenges.

Meet the Staff

One of my first jobs as a new commissioner was to hire a staff. I’m thrilled to be supported by Shelley Ashford (Constituent Relations and Policy Advisor), Chad Lykins (Policy Director), and Regan Gray (Chief of Staff). My staff works closely with staff members from the Chair, Commissioners, and Departments.

Being on-site is always an inspiration. I like to walk through the space, ask questions, meet staff, and hear how things are going and how I can help. Some highlights from my first weeks in office include site visits at the Northwest Library, Mari Equi Center, Department of Community Justice's Stabilization and Readiness Program (SARP), and the Quest Center for Integrative Health

Board Agenda

This is where you can see in advance everything we’ll be discussing, along with all the same materials that are given to commissioners to prepare them for the board meetings.

February is a big month! In addition to the normal agenda, I’ll be working on my policy goals and submitting my budget priorities to the Chair. I will be engaging with folks internally and externally. I’m particularly excited to visit constituents at the Hosford-Abernethy Neighborhood Association and Sauvie Island Neighborhood Association.

Please don’t hesitate to contact my office at district1@multco.us. We read every single email and do our very best to respond. I work for you!
