Port of Hood River, Position #5

I’m running for the Port of Hood River because I care about, and believe in, the Port’s mission: ...to promote and maintain quality of life and a healthy economy throughout...the Columbia River Gorge. I’ve never run for office before, but I believe I can have a positive impact on the future of the waterfront, airport and bridge transition. Our current commissioners are working hard towards the Port’s mission. I’d like to help them.

I was inspired to run for a port position because the Port provides an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the region by helping to create jobs, attract new businesses, and support the local economy while preserving and enhancing the natural resources that make the Port of Hood River district unique. I believe that the Port has some great opportunities with the marina, airport, and parks as well as with the buildings and business parks that they own in Odell and Hood River. I am interested in ensuring all of these assets benefit the entire Port District.
