As a 26-year police officer and detective, I'm running for State Representative because Oregon communities deserve leaders who understand real challenges. I've built my life around family and service — raising three kids with my wife, staying rooted in my community, and leading with steady values.
Public Safety First I will fight to restore accountability in our criminal justice system, support our police, and ensure that crime is addressed with common sense — not excuses. Soft-on-crime policies have consequences, and Oregonians are living them.

Real Solutions for Homelessness & Addiction I've worked alongside people suffering from addiction and homelessness throughout my career. I know the difference between those who need a genuine helping hand and a system that enables destructive behavior. Real compassion means connecting people to treatment and recovery — not tolerating open air drug use and encampments in our neighborhoods.
Fiscal Responsibility I'll oppose reckless spending, unnecessary tax hikes, and any increase to Oregon's gas tax. Hardworking Oregonians are already stretched thin — every commute and errand adds up. Before asking families to pay more at the pump, state government must account for every dollar it already collects before taking more of your paycheck.
