"My wife Vicki and I moved to Aloha so that our two daughters could get a good education in the Beaverton public schools. After 30 years, I've seen dramatic changes in our community and I'm concerned about protecting our quality of life.
During my 31 years as a police officer, it was my job to hold people accountable. As your State Representative, I will always do the same."
