Voters should decide important issues. I stood up to the full Corvallis City Council
and ran a referendum campaign, which gave voters the opportunity to soundly
reject the council’s parking ordinance. My
efforts have saved Benton County
residents tens of thousands of dollars in parking tickets and permit fees.
Government must be held accountable. Farmers were threatened with eminent domain
seizure of their farmland for an urban recreational use. The county wanted to pave Exclusive Farm Use zoned
land and take it out of food production.
I researched the situation and exposed significant issues that were
brought to the attention of the county and state agencies. My efforts contributed to halting Benton
County’s flawed plan.
Each of us can make a difference by taking direct actions
where we see a need. We don’t need to be
told where to help. We all see needs
around us on a daily basis. This could
be picking up litter, helping your older neighbor so she can stay in her home, simply
holding the door for someone and sharing
a smile, or running for elected office.
