I get asked, ‘why do you want to run for the Legislature?’ My answer is that it’s not the running; it’s the doing. It’s not ‘being a State Representative,’ it’s serving the hard-working families of Oregon City, Gladstone, Jennings Lodge, and Clackamas. I have a chance to serve Oregon, to put the experience, drive, and know-how to work for the people in House District 40. That’s why.
