Occupation: Owner of Cellar Ridge Construction Occupational Background: After graduating from college in 1990 I moved to Oregon and began a 15+/- year career with Evergreen International Airlines. In 2008 I left Evergreen to join Cellar Ridge

Construction, in 2019 I became the sole owner. Educational Background: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University / Bachelor of SciencePrior Governmental Experience: McMinnville School Board July 2016 - current; Chair McMinnville Economic Vitality Leadership Council (MEVLC) 2020 - current; McMinnville School Board Budget Committee 2005-2010 and 2011-2016; McMinnville School Board Long Range Facility Task Force 2014-2016

I am a proud parent of two MHS Graduates.

Over the last fi ve years I have had the privilege to serve on the McMinnville school board. This has been a valuable experience bringing me a greater understanding of the schools. In the last fi ve years, I have visited every school, spending time in classroom and with our dedicated and passionate teachers and administrators.

McMinnville School District is among the highest performing school districts in Oregon based on student profi ciency rates on statewide assessments, the graduation rate, and the other key indicators of student’s achievement. The district is also recognized as a state leader in educational innovation.

As a school board member, my goal is to build on this success while continuing to fi ght to ensure these opportunities are available to all students regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender.

Occupation: Director, Civility Project, George Fox University Occupational Background: College Professor; Mediation program director; Attorney Educational Background: U. of Michigan Law School, Law, JD; Drake University, Public

Administration, MPA; George Fox, History, Politics, BAPrior Governmental Experience: Newberg School Board, 2012 - present; Planning Commissioner, Dundee (2000 - 2013)I have consistently advocated for:

• An entrepreneurial service-oriented spirit among administrators and staff. We are, in fact, competing with other schools. (It’s a good thing!)

• Listening to all voices. The Board can’t shut itself into a box with administrators and teachers. Our duty runs to them, but also to taxpayers, students, and parents of every ethnicity and income level.

• Prudent fi nances. I have consistently urged setting aside more resources for future needs, especially looming PERS obligations. In 2018 we adopted a policy mandating prudent ending fund balances each year. Our fi nances improved, giving us the resources to respond to COVID (e.g., providing internet hot spots and computers to families who needed them) and a strong credit rating, keeping our bond interest costs lower.

• High standards, including improved graduation rates and achievement scores. We have reached new highs in grad rates - but there’s more to do, including clearer achievement goals, and better progress metrics.

Goals going forward:• New and better curriculum: we have been lagging in keeping

our curriculum fresh.• Responsible stewardship of the bond.• Continuing Zoom access and translation of board meetings

post-Covid.• A Board that can disagree without eroding trust. That is the

best recipe for highly effective groups. Humans are designed to disagree. It is a gift: disagreement drives learning, discovery, and improvement. Disagreement can be toxic, yes – when it breaks trust. But there is also such a thing as toxic agreement.

• Equity in student opportunity: I supported the district’s controversial Equity Resolution last summer, and volunteered for the Board’s Equity Committee. America promises equal opportunity for all. Our schools can’t break this promise. Every student will do better when no student is left behind.

Thank you for your continued support.

Occupation: Business Owner Occupational Background: Sixteen years as a Pest Control owner/operator and twelve years as self-storage business owner Educational Background: Graduated Roseburg High School, four years Seminary graduate, Two

years Foreign Ministry in Oaxaca Mexico.Prior Governmental Experience: None

Fellow citizens, I have lived in Newberg for nineteen years and raised four wonderful children that have gone through the Newberg School system. Through my children I have witnessed growth and success in programs such as sports, music, theatre, and occupational classes. We have also seen setbacks and heartbreak through the loss of young life due to the rise in depression, anxiety, and suicide. Respect for self and others is fading, while faith in a higher power has been mocked and scorned. Dangerous ideas such as the 1619 Project and critical race theory have no place in our society, least of all our schools. These ideas threaten to divide and segregate our communities by shaming people for their heritage and the color of their skin. Social issues should be a launching pad for constructive dialog to build and strengthen our schools. The school board should support and encourage school programs that unify and strengthen family relationships. A strong, loving, and supportive family will create a stronger society of people who build better communities. School budgets need better accountability. We need to fi nd ways to do more with less. A strong community will rally to the needs of its schools and programs without overburdening the taxpayer. There is a growing number of students who graduate not knowing how to create and manage a budget, understand economics, know and understand their history, have little or no work experience, and are generally unprepared for the world. The social ill of something for nothing is running rampant. Hard work, resilience, and perseverance through failure is its cure. Expanding requirements in life skills curriculum is a must, so a future with a positive outlook replaces confusion and uncertainty. Let us work together and create a better educational system.

Sherwood Resident: 15 YearsFamily: Wife and 3 Children (SHS, SMS, The Ridges)

I have been actively involved with the school district both within the school and engaging in key projects that are more district wide. This has given me the opportunity to develop many relationships with parents, teachers, district personnel and board members. Having been so involved, I should be able to quickly get up to speed if elected to the Board. I also really enjoy coaching soccer and working to foster a love of the game with our community youth.

Leadership

As a business owner with 20 locations in 7 states, being a leader is a necessity. I was also chair of the bond campaign to build the high school and improve our facilities and curriculum. In addition, I was VP for SYSC and currently manage the youth development program for Westside Timbers in Sherwood. All of this leadership experience has allowed me to learn the importance of listening. If elected, I will make decisions based on hearing out stakeholders on both sides of an issue. Then I will gather as much information as I can to make a decision that is, bottom line, best for our children’s education. I have no hidden agenda and don’t want to see politics in our school system. As it has been the past 7 years of service in supporting our schools and community, I want the best for our kids to give them the greatest opportunity for their future.

I hope to have your support and vote. Thank you.

Prior Governmental Experience: Sherwood School Board; Sherwood Planning Commission; Sherwood Urban Renewal Policy Advisory CommitteeIt’s been my honor to serve you on the Sherwood School Board. We have lived here for 23 years. Our kids graduated from Sherwood High School. We are, and should be, proud of our schools. Sherwood has:

One of the top graduation rates in the state.More college credit courses than any other district in Oregon.Award-winning arts programs, which were maintained during tough budget times.A dual Spanish/English immersion program at Hawks View Elementary.Some of the most extensive career and technical education programs in Oregon, helping students explore careers in construction, welding, health care and more.

Having a strong school district is good for our kids, our families, and our community.We still have work to do. Our kids are back in our buildings, on our sports fi elds and in our performance spaces. We have new investments in lower class sizes, new programs, and better mental health services. We have an opportunity to come back to a new and better world, where we do a better job of recognizing the rich diversity of our community, and do a better job of meeting every student’s needs.

It is important to provide all YC students with learning opportunities to achieve the knowledge and skills needed upon graduation to be successful in their future and be able to pursue a successful career path beyond K-12 education. Therefore, curriculum and instruction are critical pieces of a school district focus. In addition, fi nancial stability provides a district with the ability to ensure a strong curriculum and instructional staff. Budget and fi nance together is the economic engine that supports the success of a school and school district. I believe when a school district has a healthy fi nancial portfolio, the students, parents, and community members in turn support the schools. My varied and unique experiences allow me to have a deep understanding of the nuances and workings of a board. As a resident of CARLTON, I feel it is important for the town to have representation. Many of the board members are from Yamhill, and we need both towns represented. My experience, skills, and knowledge would be a continued asset to the board. I would like to continue to be part of the school district team.

Occupation: Engineering Manager, Oregon Department of Transportation. Occupational Background: Mechanical, civil, and structural engineer. Educational Background: Bachelor of Science in Mechanical

Engineering, Oregon State University, 1986. K-12 education in Amity, 1982. Certifi cate in Public Management, Willamette University, 2017.Prior Governmental Experience: Amity School District Board of Directors 2007-Present.Our Fire District is an important example of our community working together to keep each other and our property safe. We are each ultimately responsible for our safety, but some things are hard to handle ourselves – things like fi res, car crashes, and medical emergencies. By working together, with our Fire District, we can handle these emergencies. But I’m concerned about recent decisions.Here’s what’s been going on:

• In 2018 our District explored an arrangement with Dallas, S.W. Polk (Rickreall), and West Valley (Willamina) Fire Districts to share administrative costs and consolidate resources.

• This agreement was fi nalized in 2019, without Dallas. • Shared leadership pushed the districts to consolidate. • According to the District’s 2019-2020 auditor, Sheridan serves

as a banker for the other districts’ purchases - a material weakness in District fi nancial controls.

• Sheridan’s funds and assets are diffi cult to keep track of between districts.

• Emergencies in our District covered by McMinnville while our equipment was in another district or unstaffed.

• A slim majority of the board put consolidation on the ballot in November, without West Valley. Were you consulted in a meaningful way before this important decision?

Sharing leadership and administrative staff with neighboring districts probably makes sense, while keeping funds and assets separate. We need to aggressively grow the volunteer fi refi ghter ranks. And I believe this consolidation might not be right for our community. Certainly not so fast; this decision should be made intentionally and thoughtfully, in step with the community. We need to do what’s right for our community. I’m asking for your vote, to push to slow down this consolidation, work with the community, and truly consider and make decisions to effi ciently and effectively serve all of us.

Occupation: Self Employed Contractor Occupational Background: Fiscally Responsible with a focus on Customer Service and Needs Educational Background: NAPrior Governmental Experience:

Current Member of the Budget Committee for West Valley Fire DistrictWhy I’m Running: Willamina is my home, and I want to have the best services possible should my family have a need to use Fire or EMS with the Fire District. I believe growth is inevitable and the District must be prepared of the demands of the day-to-day Emergency Responses as well as ready for any Major Emergency that may arise.As a frequent observer of the Fire Board Meetings and a current member of the Budget Committee I believe we need to do better. I feel that we need to focus more on the services provided to the West Valley/Willamina areas. I believe the recent operating levy is a step in the right direction and I feel that staffi ng needs are high. I believe the volunteer fi refi ghting force has not been focused on enough to supplement where needed. The Communication in our Fire District is in needs of total overhaul as well. As Stewards of the taxpayer’s money and additional operating levy I believe the Fire Board should be listening to the priorities of the community they serve. We should keep the taxpayers informed on budgetary issues and long-term budget planning that will ultimate affect the response we are given.Should I earn your vote, I promise to bring a new perspective and expectation of the Fire Chief and his delegates to provide transparency to the Fire Board and citizens. I’m committed to maintaining the livability of Willamina through the protections provided by the West Valley Fire District and I would be honored to have the opportunity to serve as the next member of the West Valley Fire Board.

For the last three years I have strived to ensure the district is in a much better place and develop working relationships with the two other fi re boards. I have driven initiatives to reduce excess equipment, sell obsolete equipment and identify and reduce certain contract costs. We as a board, have directed the admin team to streamline numerous operations by joining with Sheridan and South West Polk on cost sharing. At this time, we as a district are in year two of crucial decisions that need to be made for the future of the district, which will at some point come to voters to decide on. My peers and board members from other fi re boards say they are glad I sit on this board because of my extensive background and knowledge. Being a board member is a continuous growth position.
