Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

A native Oregonian who is tired of the direction of the State of Oregon, Washington County and House District 36 has been in for the last 40 years. Salem’s solution to every problem is to tax and spend. As we all know and have experienced that answer is just not working. I am not afraid to be an agent of change. We need to do something different. We need different solutions to our problems other than raising more tax dollars. We, the citizens of Oregon, cannot afford new and more taxes.
