Taxpayers deserve to know their money is spent wisely.
Our children deserve a quality education. While serving seven terms in the House of Representatives I fought for adequate funding, educational choices, and a system of accountability that measures our schools' strengths and weaknesses. As a veteran police officer, child abuse and homicide detective, I know well the devastating effect crime and violence has in our communities. We must work together with every community to provide safety for our children, senior citizens and domestic assault victims. I have voted consistently to reduce the incidence of crime through legislation that preserved victims rights and keeps violent criminals and repeat offenders behind bars, that's why Crime Victims United of Oregon has endorsed me.
