✨ What a day! Walked with the community from the Visitor Center to Fort Vancouver and joined the bicentennial ceremony marking 200 years since its founding.

Standing on the same ground where cultures, stories, and histories converged was humbling.

On May 5th, I - with help from my emotional support munchkin- took a big step and filed to run for CW Port Commissioner. I’m excited for the opportunity to serve our community and my hometowns in a new way and be part of building a bright future for our kids.
