WHY I'M RUNNING

---

I know what it feels like to struggle, to be overlooked, and to fight for stability in a system that often feels stacked against regular people.

I didn’t grow up with power or privilege. I learned early that if you want something to change, you have to be willing to stand up and speak — even when it’s uncomfortable.

I’m running now for State Senate District 7 because I believe our community deserves leadership that is honest, accessible, and accountable. I am backed by my neighbors, my values, and the belief that Oregon can do better.

I don’t claim to have all the answers — but I promise to listen, to learn, and to lead with integrity.

That’s the kind of public service I believe in.
