One of my roles as a Metro Councilor is to serve as a liaison to the Intertwine Alliance. What is the Intertwine, anyway?

One of my goals as a Metro Councilor is to do what I can to ensure that our aspirations for our cities and communities come to fruition. I believe that developing a community investment strategy will better help us reach those aspirations and make sure that our communities are great places to live. Furthermore, the east part of the Metro region needs more jobs; good jobs that can support a family. Identifying the most important public investment projects and strategies to implement those projects will take us one step closer to being more prosperous.  

I have been in office as the District 1 Metro Councilor for almost two months. I ran for this position because of my interest in economic development, the environment, recycling, smart land-use planning, and public green spaces, which are all part of Metro's diverse portfolio. This confluence of my interests and passions makes it easy for me to promise I will dedicate all my focus to serving the public and representing the voters of my district.

It is with great joy, humility and anticipation that I look forward to the next four years serving as Metro Councilor for District 1. My six years serving on the Gresham City Council was rewarding and helped me clarify where my interests and talents are most suited, and that is here at Metro.
