I listen to our hardworking citizens and always fight for Troutdale.
Troutdale is a beautiful city with a desirable location and unique history.
​
I care about Troutdale and its citizens and, as we grow, will work to preserve our livability. Our challenge is to manage growth carefully by attracting quality development. New businesses and homes should complement what is good and replace what isn't. By deciding now what is important, Troutdale will, 30 years from now, remain a beautiful place to live. I have served on the Troutdale City Council, off and on, for 25 years. I also volunteered on the Troutdale Planning Commission and as a member of the Troutdale Parks Advisory Committee.​
