Dear neighbor,

As a lifelong resident of this district, I understand the challenges our community faces. That is why I co-founded the Rockwood Initiative and served on the Reynolds School Board for five years, fighting for our schools and families.

It is why I was ready to be a fierce advocate for East County in Salem. I directed $2 million for gun violence prevention and intervention efforts in East Multnomah County, $750,000 to bolster the City of Gresham’s homelessness response, and $1 million to build a health center at Gresham High School, so our youth can access healthcare without any barriers.

Everyday I hear from working families struggling to make ends meet. We can and must do better by getting to the root causes of problems that have been plaguing us for too long. As your state representative, I will continue fighting to build stronger, healthier, and safer communities, and I’d be honored to earn your vote. 

Sincerely,

Ricki
