I am focused on grass roots issues, solving tough issues like JOBS and the economic recovery for everyone Oregon. Having Project Management skills, Problem Solving and Decision Making experience, also as a business owner and much more experience, this has shaped my furniture as a leader uniting Oregonians. I Started with every community, every neighborhood one block at a time making it better we're I lived. Just by picking up trash, I impacted the hole community. What's next you ask? By learning to make real changes in Oregon and when everyone starts picking up trash in their community, we have adopted one block at a time. So It doesn't really matter what others do, it's what you do that really matters in your community. This action actually make sense, it's something all Oregonians can do. Just by cleaning up our neighborhoods. Change is coming to make Oregon Great Again. I know first hand that It's almost impossible working alone making positive changes in my community. The truth is when Oregonians work together we can accomplish almost anything. Voting for real change, Tim O Youker Canadate for Oregon Governor.
