A NEW DAWN FOR OREGON’S SECOND DISTRICT
I’m a small business owner in The Dalles—not a career politician. Through my business, I’ve helped people build careers and stronger futures.
I’m also a former school board member who worked to strengthen local schools.
I’m running for Congress because our district deserves a representative who shows up, does the work, and delivers for our communities.
Through my work in Oregon’s tourism industry, I’ve traveled every corner of this state—including this district. During this campaign I’ve driven over 6,000 miles meeting farmers, ranchers, and working families.
Everywhere I go, I hear the same message: D.C. isn’t delivering for rural Oregon.
This district is too important to represent from a distance.
That needs to change.
Lower Everyday Costs
Families and small businesses feel the pressure of rising prices. I support local businesses and policies that keep money in our communities and bring down costs.
Protect Farms, Ranches, and Water
Agriculture is the backbone of our district. I will fight for fair markets, responsible water management, and wildfire resilience so family farms and ranches can thrive.
Defend Rural Healthcare
Hospital closures and provider shortages threaten rural communities. I support protecting Medicare and expanding access to healthcare, mental health services, and addiction treatment.
My promise is simple:
I will show up, do the work, and bring resources home.
