ISSUES

PUBLIC SAFETY

I am committed to tackling the pressing issues of crime, homelessness, and drug-related problems that affect our community and neighboring areas. With a focus on comprehensive policies, I aim to work with law enforcement agencies, social services, and community organizations to address the root causes of crime and homelessness. I will work with Clackamas County elected officials, as well as state officials to repeal Measure 110 to create safer neighborhoods and offer individuals a path to recovery.

LOCAL CONTROL

While Oregon politicians are forcing high density, mass housing developments into our local small communities that come with many of Portland's problems, I recognize the importance of local governance and its impact on housing, growth, and land use. I champion the idea that decisions about housing and development should be made by those who know the community best: its residents and local leaders. I am committed to empowering communities with the ability to shape their own growth and development policies, enabling them to preserve their unique character while responsibly accommodating necessary changes.

EDUCATION

Our schools need to prioritize academics over politics. Less than 45% of students can read at grade level, and math is even worse. I’ve received national news coverage in the fight against the extreme woke policies in schools. You can be sure this dad and grandpa will always show up for our kids and parental rights.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

I value fiscal responsibility at both the state and local levels. I believe in the efficient and conscious use of taxpayer funds, prioritizing transparency and accountability. I will work to ensure that tax dollars are invested wisely, supporting essential services and infrastructure while avoiding unnecessary waste. By promoting responsible financial management, I aim to keep the burden on taxpayers as low as possible while maintaining vital public services.

Did you catch my article on Fox News?

Recently, Fox News asked me about the shocking increase in the number of students who were identifying as non-binary in Oregon schools. I feel that we have started teaching students what to think instead of how to think. As a father and grandfather, I’ll always show up to protect our kids, support parental rights and prioritize academics in our schools.
