  • Campaign Announcement

    Today, I am proud to announce that I am running for Mayor of the City of Bandon.


    Since moving to Bandon in 2015, I have become deeply invested in this community. I have worked for the Port of Bandon since 2018 and have had the privilege of serving through the Greater Bandon Association Board, the GBA Promotions Committee, the Bandon School District Budget Committee, the Bandon Community Youth Center Board, and for the past four years as a City Councilor.


    During my time on the City Council, I have heard a consistent message from residents: they want to feel connected to their local government. They want to know their voices are heard, decisions are made responsibly, and public service remains focused on the people it serves. Strengthening that trust and ensuring residents feel engaged in their city government will be one of my highest priorities as mayor.


    This campaign is about looking forward with optimism and purpose. Every administration faces challenges, and every leader works through difficult circumstances. My focus will be building on the strengths of our community while improving communication, increasing accountability, and creating more opportunities for residents to participate in the decisions that shape Bandon’s future.


    Our city is home to hardworking people who care deeply about their community and want a government that listens, communicates openly, and acts with integrity. Together, we can work toward shared goals: safe neighborhoods, responsible growth, strong local businesses, quality public services, and a city government built on respect and collaboration.


    As your next mayor, I will be accessible, transparent, and committed to representing every resident of Bandon. I believe we can build a city government that people feel proud to support and confident to engage with.


    I would be honored to earn your support and your vote. Together, we can strengthen our community and build a future that reflects the values, hopes, and dedication of the people who call Bandon home.

  • What Matters to Me

    Fostering deeper trust among Bandon’s people means tending to the quiet connections that hold a small town together: listening closely, showing up fully, and honoring every voice. It means restoring the true heart of public service, where leadership is rooted in humility, care, and a commitment to the common good. And it means offering steady guidance through the shifting tides of today while keeping an open, hopeful eye on the opportunities of tomorrow. In a town shaped by ocean winds and community spirit, leadership becomes less about authority and more about stewardship. carrying forward what matters, nurturing what’s emerging, and helping Bandon walk confidently into its next chapter.

When trust grows, collaboration grows and the whole town benefits.

    Public Servant

    Public service is more than a role — it’s a responsibility to show up with humility, care, and a commitment to the common good. In a town like Bandon, service looks like being present, accessible, and responsive. It means honoring the people who built this community while making space for new voices and new ideas. True service is steady, human, and rooted in the belief that leadership exists to support the community, not the other way around.

    Responsive Leadership

    Responsive leadership is leadership that pays attention to residents, to emerging challenges, and to the opportunities ahead. It means communicating openly, collaborating across departments and community groups, and bringing clarity to processes that affect daily life. In Bandon, responsive leadership helps ensure that decisions are thoughtful, timely, and shaped by the people who live here. It’s about creating a civic rhythm where everyone feels heard and every concern has a place.
