Priorities

Livable Communities

Public Safety and Community Resiliency

Deschutes County residents deserve to have safe, affordable, livable communities. I have actively sought out funding from County, State, and Federal sources to address critical housing and homeless issues.

This funding has been directed to organizations

including but not limited to:

Habitat for Humanity
Rooted Homes
North Point Vista
Oasis Village
Safe Parking
Shepherds House
Bethlehem Inn

I am a consistent voice for smart zoning and planning decisions that focus on access to infrastructure, defensible communities, and usable green spaces.

Public Safety and Community Resiliency

Deschutes County residents know that the threat of wildfire is no longer a distant risk, it's a yearly reality. As a member of the Executive Leadership Board of CORE3, I am working to provide the resources and multi-agency coordination necessary for effective disaster prevention and response in our region. In my role on Council, I have also directed funds for our new Redmond Public Safety building, provided direct support for this summer's Cram Fire, and partnered with regional leaders to fund prevention programs that better protect our homes and spaces. I look forward to bringing my vast knowledge, proven leadership and first-hand experience in disaster response to the County Commission.

Supportive Care Access

As an advocate of the Central Oregon Disability Support Network I have participated in education programming focused on improving accessibility and inclusion for state parks, Deschutes County, and local service providers.

I have and will continue to advocated for access to Behavior Health Services in Central Oregon.

Recently, Redmond broke ground on a new mental health treatment facility (a strategic public-private partnership with the State of Oregon, Deschutes County and Jory Behavioral Health) to increase the availability of critically needed, high-quality mental health services, doubling Central Oregon's capacity for live-in care for adults experiencing severe mental illness.

Economic Development

Supportive Care Access

As a long time Board Member of the Redmond Urban Renewal Agency and Downtown Urban Renewal Advisory Committees and in my work with the South Highway 97 Urban Renewal District, I have supported small businesses, improved the downtown Redmond occupancy rate, attracted new industries, and helped create family sustaining jobs.

Donate to my campaign

I am running for Deschutes County Commissioner because I believe our community deserves leadership that takes action and cares for community members. Your donation, no matter the amount, would mean so much. Donations support my campaign through mailings, informational hand-outs, yard signs, community events, and keeps my campaign going strong. Every person working on this campaign is a volunteer so rest assured that every dollar donated goes directly to ensuring our success. I'm counting on friends, neighbors, and supporters who believe in making a difference in our beautiful community.
