I paid little attention to local politics in my life due to constantly moving while on active duty service.
Seeing the managed decline of our public safety and the long-time failure of our schools was the catalyst for me to throw my hat into the ring for this office.
We have serious problems that will continue to degrade unless we think and vote differently now. Failure to get the course directions needed to bring safety to our neighborhoods and success to our schools will require incrementally stronger action as time goes on.
I would rather be part of what will hopefully be a light handed fix to Portland and Oregon's burning issues now than have to live through what will likely be a heavy handed fix in the future.- I will support public safety and the police who help provide that safety. Our leaders at the state and local level should have been a voice of reason 2 years against calls to abolish police.
- Our schools are failing our children and we need new thinking to help parents get better education choices for their children.
- Measure 110 that essentially decriminalized illicit drugs in Oregon either needs repealed or we need to pursue full decriminalization to include manufacture, distribution and sales of illicit drugs. Managing the monies while allowing contaminated poison to be sold won't work.
Our state has repeatedly wasted money in instances such as the unemployment system that collapsed early COVID or the hundreds of millions wasted for the Affordable Care Act "Obamacare" computer system.
In Jr. High School and saw it explode on the TV as we watched in class.
Looking back it helped me understand the value of setting up systems and standards to run smooth operations.
There should be a cordial relationship but there is the responsibility for both agencies to protect the people from excesses and/or misconduct that either agency may engage in.
This needs to be fixed and it needs to be fixed by discussing common values and principles and working to honestly put political power at the lowest levels possible allowing the diverse communities we have here to operate as they see fit to govern themselves.
This seat has been decided by democrat primary voters the past 18 years. That is bad no matter what side of the aisle you may sit.
Every incumbent should be challenged by members of their own parties in the party as well as opposing parties in the general election.
The school refused to hold the bully accountable so now the grandma is paying for her granddaughter to attend private school.
