I have three children in the PPS School system. I believe a school board member with children currently attending PPS is a unique and important qualification.
I am not spending six figures on a campaign. We deserve more from those stepping into office than to owe favors for campaign contributions?
We have been watching our system remain controlled by political insiders, isn’t it time for a new approach?
We have watched reasonable people get ignored, practical solutions to our many issues disregarded. It is time for someone who can listen to the diverse people of ALL backgrounds, and ALL income levels in our city?
We need something different!
This is your chance to vote for the little guy, and a vote for something different.
I am committed community member, currently involved with: Scouts BSA, Cub Scouts, Lents NA, East Portland Action Plan, Candle lighters, and several other community groups.
