Issues

I am often asked what separates me from other candidates in this race.

The answer is simple: I have been a resident of, and I have stood up for CD 2 and Eastern Oregon my entire life.

I was raised in CD 2. I grew up working on my family’s ranch in Harney County, graduated from college in La Grande, went to law school to learn how to defend our ranch’s water rights, own, operate and live on a farm near Ontario, and have always voted as a resident of CD2.

I will remain true to my Eastern Oregon values and you can be absolutely certain that I will vote in Washington just as I talk in Oregon.
