Greetings! I would be honored to be your METRO Councilor in Position #1.
Why vote for me?
I have extensive educational experience in areas relevant to METRO and I often teach classes in topics related to METRO.
I have lived in the Portland Area all of my life and know its issues and people very well.
I have previous government experience as both a Portland police officer and a Troutdale City Councilor.
I know that we need to better express the needs of our part of the metropolitan area within METRO.
I love this place and I want to preserve the things that make the Portland area special while trying to limit our intrusions into people's personal property rights.
I want to make METRO and TRIMET more accountable to the public.
I have decided not to seek endorsements from any politicians or special interest groups and I will not take monetary donations from anyone other than individuals and then no more than $50 per person.
I have high ethical standards and will work hard to represent the voters of my district to the best of my abilities.
Please vote for me this coming May!
