A Career Protecting Children
For the last 27+ years, I've fought to keep kids safe and strengthen families. I’ve personally prosecuted the most serious crimes against children, including sexual abuse and murder. I’ve led efforts to protect children, chairing Multnomah County’s Child Abuse Team, Child Fatality Review Team and Sexual Assault Response Team.
