As a working parent with kids in public schools and community leader, I know our recovery begins in our neighborhoods. Getting Portland back on track requires leaders who will turn compassion into action with urgency and vision--just as I have:

As a leader at OHSU I helped operationalize our response during the pandemic and keep communities healthy. As chair of the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods, I collaborated with neighbors to open the Walnut Park shelter working with businesses, the city and county, to get people from tents to shelter and make sure the environment was safe for neighbors.

I knew it was time to step up and serve on the City Council because compassion isn’t enough to solve the crisis on our streets that is endangering our neighbors and our future. I'm a leader who listens and works for practical solutions--just as I have as a PTA board member and chair of the PPS and Transportation budget committees, building consensus to prioritize infrastructure maintenance and outcomes for kids.

On council, I’ll collaborate across agencies for the common good and make sure tax dollars are well spent.
  • Reinvest in public safety: Improving the crisis of drugs, vandalism, and violence on our streets by fully staffing our first responders.
  • Support our neighborhoods: End unsanctioned tent and RV camping, clean up trash and graffiti and help small businesses recover
  • Improve affordability: By rejecting new fees and taxes, streamlining permitting, and cutting red tape to build more housing
Portland's recovery and our future requires leaders who will turn compassion into action with urgency and vision. The last time Portland treated a crisis like an emergency, I was there as a leader at OHSU helping operationalize our COVID-19 response across agencies to keep communities healthy.

To solve the crisis on our streets that is endangering our future, we must operationalize our compassion and creativity into practical solutions. Chairing the Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods, I collaborated with neighbors to open the Walnut Park shelter working with businesses, the city and county, to get people from tents to shelter and while ensuring safety for neighbors.
