I'm running for Deschutes County Commissioner to make our shared High Desert home more livable, prosperous, sustainable and secure.
As an MIT-trained climate scientist, 22-year U.S. Coast Guard veteran, central Oregon civic leader, and nationally-certified incident commander who has helped hundreds of communities in Oregon recover from natural and environmental disasters, I've made a career bringing different voices together to solve tough challenges.
With a focus on innovation, inclusivity, and creative, data-driven solutions to complex problems like homelessness, affordable housing, and the threats posed by climate change to our homes, farms and transportation system, I am here to listen, lead and act — please contribute to help us win.
