“In Oregon we can build on the strong points, and tackle the obvious problems that remain, to become better. Serving in the legislature gives me a great opportunity to do both. I have passed bills on health care insurance rates, veterans’ services, consumer protection, and accountability for public contracts. I’m proud of the local programs I’ve promoted that wind up benefiting the entire state, like funding for school health centers, an earthquake early warning system at the University of Oregon, a youth shelter and assessment center on the Serbu Youth Campus, and preserving archaeological and anthropological collections at UO’s Museum of Natural and Cultural History. I am honored to be representing and advocating for the residents of north and downtown Eugene.”
