I would be honored to receive your vote and honored to serve as your next City Councilor.
I am running for Eugene City Council because Ward 2 should be represented by a Councilor with strong progressive values who responds to the concerns of her constituents. I am that person.
I am an 18-year resident of Ward 2 who is invested here, unlike my opponent, who just moved into the ward in order to run for this seat.
The underpinnings of a progressive platform – and, by no accident, the foundation of my personal life and my campaign can be described by the acronym I coined: ITEA. The four legs of the table of good government:
ITEA: Inclusiveness. Transparency. Equity. Accountability.
I am a life-long Democrat and former chair of SE Neighbors. I’ve worked shoulder-to-shoulder with my neighbors saving our south hills forests, siting homeless shelters, organizing events, and currently saving our LTD service. I am the neighborhood candidate. I have stood and will always stand with my neighbors.
I am also the true progressive in this race, running a 100% grassroots all volunteer campaign by the people for the people. I’m endorsed by neighbors and local community leaders – people you know, who are your neighbors, people you respect and have lived near and have worked with, volunteered with, organized and picnicked with.
I am willing to stand up and speak out. If it requires ITEA, you can count on me to shed light.
I am the candidate in this race best positioned and most qualified to carry on Councilor Taylor’s legacy and the value of questioning institutions and the status quo. I, like Councilor Taylor, will take truly progressive stands beholden to nobody but the people.
I raised my children in the 4J school district, and volunteered in the schools. Right here in this ward. I managed a successful consulting firm. Right here in this Ward. I launched and managed a successful start-up. Right here in this ward. My professional successes include:

Our City Council requires bold, proven leadership and experience. I bring that. Vote for me and I will stand for you.
