PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL EXPERIENCE: Woodburn City Council, 1990-present. Woodburn Budget Committee, 1990-present. Numerous city committees, including Housing Rehabilitation, zoning advisory task force, and street tree. Woodburn Park and Recreation Board, 1984-1990.

In my 12 years on the Woodburn City Council, I have watched Woodburn double in size and make enormous strides toward being a full-service city. We are well managed, financially sound, and ready for the 21st century.

I am running for Mayor because we are in the middle of some important issues that I hope to see through to completion:

*Making sure that our interchange improvements receive funding and actually occur.

*Getting a strong start on our downtown urban renewal project.

*Updating our land use and transportation plans in ways that keep Woodburn’s home town feel but give us room to create good jobs and positive futures.

*Completing our skate park and making progress on Centennial Park.

Finally, I am running for Mayor because I care very deeply for our community. I have been privileged to represent some of the finest people in the world for the last 12 years and ask for you support in serving you further during a term as Mayor.
