Welcome, friends to the 2025 Oregon legislative session,
It is a privilege and an honor to represent the citizens of Josephine County House District 3 in the Oregon State Legislature.
Located in southwest Oregon, Josephine County is known for its pioneer tradition, beautiful scenery and year-round great weather, and abundant outdoor recreation.
As your state representative, I will promote common-sense policies grounded in limited government and free market conservative principles, proven to give our citizens the best opportunity to thrive.
A new hope
As we heard on Inauguration Day, we now have a powerful partner, the full force of the federal government, in our push to bring common sense and sanity back to Oregon, regardless of what the Dem supermajority here may want. January 20, 2025 was Oregon’s Liberation Day.
My priorities
My priorities this legislative session are fourfold.
Help implement the Trump agenda here in Oregon
Drive state legislation toward unleashing fairness and prosperity for Oregon families and businesses
Support a balanced state budget without raising taxes or your cost of living
Serve the needs of my constituents in Grants Pass and Josephine County
Help implement the Trump agenda here in Oregon
President Trump's policy agenda has deep implications for the state of Oregon. Gender policy, energy policy, immigration policy, education and doing away with DEI programs, federal oversight, and economic impacts are all areas that will improve the state of Oregon.
Federal law and the threat of losing federal funds will be strong incentives for the state of Oregon to fall in line with common sense and sanity. Almost a third of Oregon's state budget comes from federal sources.
Drive state legislation toward unleashing fairness and prosperity for Oregon families and businesses
My legislative priorities include elections integrity, education, economic development, and equality and fairness.
This session I am serving on the following committees: Economic Development, Small Business, and Trade; Higher Education and Workforce Development, and Ways and Means: Education.
With every piece of legislation that crosses my desk and in every committee meeting I am in, I will be evaluating policy based on its ability to unleash fairness and prosperity for Oregon and its compliance with federal laws and regulations.
Support a balanced state budget without raising taxes or your cost of living
I will do everything in my power to highlight the fraud, waste, and abuse embedded in Governor Kotek’s budget in an effort to reduce the tax burden on Oregon families and businesses.
