WHY I'M RUNNING: 
  I love Linn County — it’s untamed beauty, hardworking people and limitless potentential. But, the problems we’re facing — from the housing crisis to access to affordable health care —  are incredibly complex.

  These problems should not be determined through one-sided conversations.

  That’s why I’m running for Linn County Commissioner — to bring a fresh perspective and advocate for our neighbors who have been left behind. Linn County residents who have been forgotton, feel ignored and have lost hope in our bright future.

   I will bring fresh perspectives to address some of our biggest challenges, including:
   • Building an economy that works for everyone
   • Promoting affordable housing
   • Planning for smart growth
   • Improving public safety
   • Repairing and building roadways,
   • Providing better public health services and
  • Protecting farms and the natural resources that make Linn County such a spectacular place to live and raise a family.

    This election is about the future of Linn County. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and lead us forward  —with an open mind, a bold voice and a listening ear.
