I've lived in Oregon for 21 years, the last 8 years in Wood Village . I came from a small town in Pennsylvania . Wood Village reminds me of my roots, a town where neighbors knew each other, helped each other, and looked out for each other's children.
I want this quality of life to continue in Wood Village . That is why I'm a strong advocate and supporter of Neighborhood Watch, Emergency Preparedness, and the Multnomah County Sheriff's Department. People caring for other people can make a difference.
I believe that participation in our city events should be encouraged by everyone. Volunteering at these functions is important, not only to continue the events, but also to promote our city to surrounding cities and businesses.
I raised four beautiful children by myself, so I know how to make every dollar count. Wood Village is financially strong now, and we need to keep it that way for the future. Maintaining our city services and resources is only possible when money is budgeted wisely.
If elected again, I will continue to pursue these goals.
Thank You,
Patricia Smith
