Me postulo para el Concejo Municipal de Hillsboro, Distrito 3, porque el liderazgo local importa donde realmente sucede la vida. Las decisiones de la ciudad determinan si las familias pueden permitirse quedarse, si los negocios pueden afrontar el cambio y si las personas est\u00e1n seguras, escuchadas y apoyadas en sus vecindarios.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I\u2019m running for City Council because Hillsboro is at an important moment. Families are feeling the pressure of layoffs, rising housing costs, and uncertainty about the future. I believe our city can respond with practical leadership, clear priorities, and collaboration that delivers results people can feel.<\/p>

As a former Chair of the Washington County Chamber of Commerce and a Hillsboro business owner, I\u2019ve worked across business, education, nonprofits, and civic spaces to help move projects forward. I\u2019ve seen how decisions made at City Hall affect jobs, neighborhoods, and everyday life. I saw that clearly in February 2025, when fear around ICE activity in Hillsboro turned what was meant to be a diversity council mixer into a community forum, and I stepped in to moderate the conversation. Latino residents and business owners shared their concerns directly with the Mayor and Chief of Police, asking hard questions about safety, the city\u2019s role, and what could be done. That moment reinforced for me that leadership means bringing people together, listening in difficult moments, and helping turn fear and uncertainty into clarity and connection.<\/p>

My spouse and I have built our life here. Our children have been nurtured in this community. Hillsboro is the best place I\u2019ve ever lived, and I want to protect what makes it special while working on the challenges that hold families back.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I have seen what happens when people want to contribute but do not feel represented or welcomed. That is why I have worked to create more space for connection, opportunity, and leadership in our community.<\/p>

While serving at the Chamber, I became the founding member and first Chair of the Black Advisory Business Council. Through outreach and steady relationship-building, we helped grow membership from one to thirty at its peak. That work also helped lead to the creation of the Washington County Juneteenth Celebration, which enters its fifth year in 2026.<\/p>

That momentum helped inspire three additional diversity councils with their own leadership and voice: API, LGBTQ+, and Veterans. The Latino Business Advisory Council had already set a strong example, and I worked to build on that foundation.<\/p>

I also created the BABC Scholarship Fund to support both academic and vocational pathways for Hillsboro students. I did that because I believe success does not look the same for every student, and every young person deserves a real chance to build a strong future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Representation matters because it builds trust, brings broader perspective, and leads to better decisions. But I do not believe representation alone is enough. It has to be matched with real work, real listening, and real results that people can feel in their daily lives.<\/p>

After five years of consecutive leadership in Hillsboro, I am running with a commitment to serve the full community, not just the people who already feel connected to City Hall. I have spent enough time in community spaces to know that people can tell the difference between being acknowledged and being truly heard. I believe every resident deserves to be respected, included, and considered in the decisions that shape our city. That means listening to business owners, families, young people, seniors, and neighborhoods across Hillsboro, then turning those conversations into action.<\/p>

My approach is simple. Show up, listen carefully, work with others, and stay focused on results. That is how stronger decisions are made, and that is how trust is built across the community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I love Hillsboro. Of every place I have lived, this is the place that has felt most like home. My family has built a life here. My children went through the Hillsboro School District, and I have watched this community help shape their future. My son now attends PCC with support from the Oregon Promise Scholarship and other community-based funding. Experiences like that stay with you. They remind you that a strong community can change the course of a person\u2019s life.<\/p>

Hillsboro has given my family opportunity, support, and a real sense of belonging. It has also shown me what is possible when people step up, invest in one another, and work to build something better together. That is one reason I am serving on the Hillsboro School District 2026 Bond Development Committee. I believe deeply in investing in students, families, and the future of this city.<\/p>

I am running for City Council because I want to help protect what makes Hillsboro special while preparing it for what comes next. I want to help keep it affordable for working families, welcoming to every part of our community, and strong enough to meet the challenges ahead. This city has poured into my family. Running for City Council is my way of giving back through service.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

My upbringing taught me that progress comes from calm, steady, pragmatic leadership and a willingness to keep learning. I believe in continuous learning because it changes what people think is possible for their future and helps leaders respond with better judgment, not just stronger opinions.<\/p>

I do not believe in politics built on labels or extremes. I believe in listening, asking hard questions, and working with others to find solutions that fit Hillsboro. I have learned that leadership is often tested in difficult moments, when people need someone who can stay grounded, bring different voices together, and help turn tension into forward movement.<\/p>

When our community faces challenges, the answer is not division. It is steady leadership that can bring people together and move work forward in a way people can trust.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
