​I’m an educator, a dad, a grandfather, and a former police officer and that is what drives me as a Senator. My wife Jackie and our family live in Gresham after living in Troutdale for 20 years. I have been teaching geography and law enforcement at Mount Hood Community College since 1996. I also served as a police officer with the Portland Police Bureau for seven years where I patrolled neighborhoods on the east side of Portland. As a legislator, I'm using the experience I have gained throughout my life to improve, reform and strengthen our communities and district. My goal in the Oregon Legislature is, and always has been, to make life better for our community in East County. I’m committed to listening to my constituents and delivering the results they need. This is why I’m leading efforts to keep our families and neighborhoods safe and our economy moving with more accessible public transportation and improved roads and bridges. I’m also passionate about getting Oregonians the training and skills they need to support themselves and their families, while making sure essentials like housing and gas are affordable for hardworking people. I’m really proud of the wins our team…
