My Bio
I grew up in Central, but I was raised in the Pendleton area because my father taught at the high school. I went to Pendleton High School, worked in Pendleton for six years, and moved back to Pendleton a few years ago. Pendleton means a lot to me, and I do not want to see it become another version of Central.
My Key Issues
Housing
Pendleton must adopt inclusive yet stricter zoning policies to ensure responsible growth that protects affordability for current residents. As towering developments rise, long-time citizens deserve reassurance that their homes, heritage, and future won’t be priced out or pushed aside.
Urban planning and smart growth
To protect Pendleton’s charm, zoning policies must strike a balance between thoughtful development and preserving the character of existing neighborhoods. Growth shouldn’t come at the expense of community identity or long-time residents’ peace of mind.
Economic Development
Supporting small businesses keeps Pendleton’s economy strong and our community unique. I’m committed to creating a local environment where entrepreneurs can thrive and neighbors choose to shop local first.
Transportation
Pendleton deserves safe, well-maintained roads and practical parking solutions that work for residents and visitors alike. I’ll advocate for timely repairs and smarter parking management while planning for future needs. By looking ahead to improved public transportation access, we can keep our town moving efficiently without losing its charm.
