- Protecting Our Public's Health: Invest in Improving Oregon's Public Health System. As Representative, I will advocate for affordable and accessible health services for all by reducing costs while ensuring equitable access and utilization of health services.
- Education Opportunities: Providing Opportunities for Success. As a parent and community member, it is important to me that our children have opportunities to succeed when they grow up. Preparing students for success in high school and beyond begins before kindergarten. Access to high-quality affordable early learning programs is vital for a strong education foundation. Preparation for kindergarten increases the likelihood of academic success for our growing families. As Representative, I will advocate for quality educational programs for all Oregonians - from early learning through twelfth grade to affordable post-secondary programs, including college and technical career training.
- Oregon's Growing Economy: Ensuring equitable distribution and investments in Oregon's future. As Representative, I will strive to bring diversified, innovative programs that invest in our future and promote long-term job opportunities.
Compassion: It is important that I hear the needs of the community and to base my decisions on how policies, if implemented, impact the community.
Dedication: I am dedicated to ensuring my decisions are well informed and based on evidence-based measures, with input from the community that elected me into office.
Flexible: To succeed in office, it is important for elected officials to be flexible. This means listening carefully to each side, hearing concerns, and to learn if consensus is possible.
Hard working: Serving in office means reading reports thoroughly and to ask questions. It means having flexibility in meeting with community members outside of standard work hours.
