As an educator of nearly 25 years in Eugene Public Schools I have built deep relationships across this district. My service in public office means I have the experience and skills needed to get things done. I understand the importance of personal connection and cooperation and am dedicated to making Eugene, Oregon a great place to live, work, play, and raise a family.
What I Stand For
Standing up for Strong Schools
As an educator I know schools and community colleges are critical pathways to opportunity. I’ll champion investments in the resources, support, and staffing schools and students need to be successful.
Standing up for a Fair Economy for All
Working families need good paying jobs. No one should have to decide between paying rent and putting food on the table. I’m committed to building an economy that benefits working families and small businesses, not just big corporations.
Standing up for Access to Healthcare
Insurance companies shouldn’t get to decide what type of care we receive. I’ll champion a health care system that is easy to navigate and accessible. I’ll ensure Oregonians have access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare.
Standing up for Reproductive Rights
It's critical we defend comprehensive reproductive healthcare in Oregon when it is under attack in so many states. I'll defend abortion rights by working to codify reproductive health rights in the Oregon Constitution.
Standing up for Safe Affordable Homes for All
I’ve seen firsthand the impact of housing insecurity on students’ lives. I’ll work to address the housing crisis and help build a pathway to home ownership and affordable rental opportunities.
Standing up for Climate Resilient Communities
Our communities need to be resilient in the face of climate change. I’ll make sure both urban and rural communities are ready for the next disaster and have the resources they need to be prepared. I'll fight to protect Oregon’s natural resources and work towards a clean energy economy.
