Are you inspired with the kind of Republican nominee we've had for Governor in the past? For years, our party has nominated legislators — people who know how to debate policy, but have never run a government or delivered a service. Oregon doesn't need another insider, we need someone who has actually been responsible for making government work for the people. As a Marion County Commissioner, I am already running the fifth-largest county in Oregon. Every day I oversee budgets, public safety, land use, behavioral health systems, and programs communities depend on. That's the difference between a legislator and an executive: legislators write laws; executives deliver results. Oregonians are frustrated and rightfully so. We are struggling with affordability, businesses are weighed down by regulation, and our systems continue to fail those who need help most. Too many decisions in Salem are driven by urban priorities, leaving the rest of our state behind. I'm running for Governor because Oregon needs bold leadership that focuses less on politics and more on outcomes. I believe in limited government that delivers, focused on core responsibilities like public safety, strong infrastructure, education, healthy communities, and a thriving economy.
