In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Oregon's economy is being hollowed out and Washington DC isn't listening. As a veterinarian serving Oregon for decades, I've watched firsthand what happens when vertical integration squeezes out the local practices that communities depend on.”
“After twenty years practicing veterinary medicine full-time in Oregon, I've made the decision to step away from the exam room and run for Congress. It wasn't an easy choice. I love this profession.”
