I love East Portland and I care deeply about our future. Our new city charter provides us an opportunity to elect leaders focused on listening, solving problems, and ensuring East Portland's future matches up with our goals and values. I'm excited for the opportunity to work collectively to tackle big issues and to ensure that after decades of disinvestment, East Portland gets its fair share of city resources.

I believe in a future where everyone has access to opportunity and the resources to thrive.

For almost a decade, I have had the privilege to work with my neighbors and community members to bring infrastructure investments to East Portland. For me, this community development work has often occurred on the block and neighborhood level. My favorite part of these efforts has always been that people could see the end results of their work, not just in infrastructure on the ground but in the community relationships that were built.
