Moving to Vancouver to be closer to family, John quickly became an active member in the community, serving on nonprofit boards, and volunteering his time to better the community while working in the private sector marketing financial services to military families and veterans.
As a member of the Clark County Parks Advisory Board, John embraces and promotes the natural beauty of Washington for all to enjoy and experience. Through this work, he advocated for the Legacy Lands Initiative, which has so far protected over 5,000 acres of pristine open spaces.
When John is not working to protect our quality of life, you can find him hiking with his nieces and nephews.
John earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley, and an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin.- Environment: We have to safeguard our local environment and open spaces in order to ensure that Washington’s natural beauty is accessible to everyone. This also means prioritizing our thinly spread Greater Clark County Parks District resources so that more people will have outdoor recreation opportunities closer to home.
- Housing: Clark County lacks the appropriate housing inventory, which risks pricing out many families. We must make homeownership more attainable by pushing for sustainable development that maintains the elements that make Clark County a great place to live and push for good paying jobs that will empower future generations to achieve their dreams.
- Traffic: Clark County already has a serious traffic problem, we must upgrade our roadways and infrastructure so that our roads can meet current and future demand. Reducing lanes for alternate and underutilized forms of transportation adds to congestion, we must upgrade our roadways based on how they are actually used, not how policymakers wish they would be used.
