Public Safety
Local Control
No Tolling

I am very proud of the results we have achieved with our current commission members. We are a family with strong beliefs that differ at times but we have been able to come together to get real things done.

I can confidently say that we have shown, clearly, that ideas matter. While neighboring counties facing the same issues, continue to stumble and experience higher crime, failed business, spikes in violence, increasing division and urban decay... we have chosen our own path, and it has, and it will continue to work.

There is always more we can do, but I am proud of what we've accomplished in the face of some extremely serious challenges... Covid, Fires, Ice Storms, Financial challenges and Social Unrest to name a few. I am very excited to continue leading Clackamas County on our own unique path of success.

Can’t vote for her, don’t live in Clackamas County anymore but she is exactly what the metro area needs. A swift dose of preparedness and commonsense. What she lacks is a corrupt soul.
