As you may well know, I currently serve as a City Councilor in Forest Grove, and a small business owner.


Over the past year, I’ve been listening closely to residents and leaders across Forest Grove, Cornelius, and West Hillsboro.


What I hear consistently is a desire for policies that are clear, workable, and accountable with structural backing.


Policies shaped by the people closest to the work.


Policies structured for implementation — not just intention.


Throughout my career — in global business operations and in public service — I’ve focused on building systems that deliver results and preparing others to lead.


That is why I am pursuing a run for Oregon State Representative for House District 29 through the Independent Party of Oregon.


In the months ahead, I’ll continue conversations across the district. I welcome your direct outreach.


More to come.

Thank You for Your Support


One of our campaign’s most important priorities is building the resources to communicate directly with voters across House District 29. Mailers, signs, digital outreach, community events, and a strong ground campaign all require support—and every contribution helps us reach more people.


There are several ways you can help:


  • Donate. Every dollar helps us communicate with voters throughout Forest Grove, Cornelius, and West Hillsboro.


  • Host a gathering. Bring together neighbors, friends, and colleagues for an informal conversation about the campaign—and help introduce us to people we may not otherwise reach.


  • Volunteer. Our voter outreach is ramping up. Whether you can write postcards, knock on doors, make calls, or simply introduce me to your network, there is a place for you.


This campaign is being built one conversation, one introduction, and one supporter at a time.


I’m grateful to everyone who has chosen to be part of it—including you. Please reach out to me directly to learn more.


Thank you.

Personal Editorial


👉 Why Limit the Ideas We Bring to the Table


Voting for someone outside your party does not mean abandoning your values. It means evaluating the person, the problem, and the moment.

We already do this everywhere else in life.
