Issues and Polls

As State Representative for District 19, education will continue to be a top priority.  My record as a 3 year member of the Salem-Keizer school board speaks for itself - I am diligent and loyal to voters and taxpayers.  I will continue to be an outspoken supporter of school employees, and a promoter of accountability, credibility and excellence.

I am a physician by training, a parent, a man of science and conscience, and a change agent for “HOPE”:

H – Health Care Reform (hold-down costs, help kids and the working
       uninsured)

O – Open Government (openness, transparency and trust in Oregon
       government)

P – Public Security (prevent crime, protect communities and patrol highways)

E – Education excellence, Equal opportunities and Environmental
       sustainability

 To bring “HOPE” to my constituents, I plan to:

• hold regular town hall meetings
• have open office hours
• listen to your ideas
• help solve your problems and improve your lives
