Newspaper asked first-year lawmakers to name a bill that had the biggest impact on equity in Oregon.
My first session as the State Representative for Oregon's House District 28 has drawn to a close and I couldn't be more proud of what my team and I managed to accomplish. In a year that pushed Oregonians to their limits, we pushed ourselves to ours to ensure we did everything we could to help those hurt by the pandemic to get back on their feet.
When I was elected I made a promise to work alongside my community for a future Oregon which represents all of us, not just the few. That is why I believe equity must be more than a buzzword thrown around to draw loose conclusions regarding the injustices of opportunity in our communities. Those injustices are deeper than the inability to participate in certain spaces. They are threaded within the fabric of our communities, not always known or intentional, but ever present all the same.
