‘What’s your favorite spring activity?’
“Go to the Portway
Tavern and drink
beer. What else is
there? Of course,
it’s my favorite winter
activity, too.”

Gov. Kate Brown signed

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
A 1964 graduate of Star of the Sea High School, I have
been an environmental activist, tree planter, fisherman, city
councilor, filmmaker and chef/owner of three restaurants.
I have volunteered, contributed and supported many causes
in our community: Court Appointed Special Advocates, the
Assistance League, Liberty Theatre, Women’s Resource Cen-
ter, Salmon For All, Knappa School Foundation, Astoria High
School, Astoria Middle School and Astor Elementary School,
Astoria Regatta. The list goes on and on because I believe in
community and service.
I ask for your vote because you know me and you trust
me. I am a pragmatic problem solver not governed by a polit-
ical platform.

Oregon, Washington sue EPA over emission standards
cles built between 2022 and
2025.
The states argue those
emissions standards for cars
and light-duty truck mod-
els were put in place to help
reduce carbon pollution and
oil consumption.
“The vehicle emissions
standards protect the envi-
ronment and save consumers
money with better fuel econ-
omy,” said Washington Attor-
ney General Bob Ferguson in

Oregon and Washington
state are joining a coalition
of 17 states and the District
of Columbia in suing the U.S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency and its administrator
Scott Pruitt over the decision
to roll back greenhouse gas
emissions standards for vehi-
a press release.
“The EPA once again is
ignoring the needs of con-
sumers, its duty to protect the
environment and most impor-
tantly, the law.”
Pruitt, the EPA adminis-
trator, has said the standards
are costly for automakers and
consumers. The EPA began
re-examining emissions stan-
dards last year.
The states have questioned
the EPA’s decisions on emis-
sions standards throughout
the process. In June, they
sent a letter to Pruitt threat-
ening legal action and argu-
ing that those cars and light-
duty trucks are responsible for
20 percent of greenhouse gas
emissions.
The coalition has argued
that the car industry is already
on track to meet or exceed
many of the standards the
EPA has argued are too costly
for the industry.

WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE?
Clatsop County needs leadership that is both a strong stew-
ard of its land and is business-friendly. If we are to address
the pressing need for workforce housing, we need to keep the
family wage jobs we have and find new opportunities for more
jobs. We cannot do this in a climate that discourages develop-
ment. As businesses approach us we must communicate our
stewardship so that they understand that we want them here,
but our environmental standards must be met before we allow
them the opportunity. I believe most businesses welcome a
clear path and will be glad to meet our demands if the regula-
tions are set forth from the beginning.

HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF ELECTED?
I have been a friend and neighbor of thousands of county
residents for many years. I am open to new and old ideas with-
out being held to a partisan position dictated by metropolitan
politicians. I cherish the natural beauty of our area. I believe
that being a county commissioner will give me the opportu-
nity to preserve the county’s unique and singular nature while
furthering the economic growth we need. Clatsop County is
an extremely important cog in Oregon’s future and this posi-
tion has a requirement to lead toward that future.
