I was born and raised right here in the Willamette Valley. Some of my earliest memories are of the farm I grew up on up, those hours working the fields taught me the values of discipline and hard work, values that shaped me into the person I am now. During my freshman year of high school I got involved with speech and debate, this experience instilled in me the value of community and the importance of multiple perspectives, not just when making decisions but for looking at the world.

After realizing the importance that school and education had on me I decided to attend Western Oregon University and become a teacher. For 42 gracious years, one of the greatest joys of my life was serving as a teacher and speech and debate coach in Hillsboro. My home away from home was my classroom. During my time as a teacher and while raising a family I had the distinct honor of serving on the Metro Council for 16 years where I fought to sustain Oregon’s economic, environmental, and cultural vitality. I am running to keep fighting for Washington County families, workers, and community members who deserve a strong voice in Salem for their needs.

I moved to the coast with my husband because we love the natural beauty and progressive values; but it is getting harder for families to find good jobs with benefits, reliable housing and the schools kids need.

As your State Representative I will work to protect improve funding for our schools, improve access to good, affordable healthcare and safeguard our environment. , Working for DHS child services means that I see first hand the hardships faced by so many of the most vulnerable families in our communities. For many it is hard to get by, let alone get ahead. I will do what I can to make sure that as many people as possible have a fair shot at leading a good life. That means increasing investments in education and making sure that hard working people don’t have to lose sleep over access to healthcare.

I’m running because I’m tired of people in power – elected officials- who claim to represent us, ignore their constituents in favor of special Interests. Nurses unequivocally advocate for what’s best for people. We work in stressful, fast-paced environments, make tough decisions and put the lives of others ahead of our own everyday. We are the most trusted profession and I believe it’s time we have that level of trust in our representatives.

Public education is important to all of us, whether or not we have children or grandchildren in school right now. It is the foundation of our future, our economy and the strength of our communities. Yet Oregon continues to have large class sizes and lacks the proper resources for our teachers and kids. We need a representative who will help our schools, not vote against them. That is why I support revenue reform that would provide stable and predictable funding for public education.
