Eugene needs about 1,600 new housing units every y Eugene needs about 1,600 new housing units every year, and right now we’re falling behind.

We need a balanced approach that increases housing supply across all income levels while also expanding transitional housing and supportive options for people trying to get back on their feet.

Housing is one of the biggest challenges Eugene faces, and we need leadership willing to treat it with urgency.

Great news for our local community! Peacehealth ha Great news for our local community! Peacehealth has finally decided to reverse their decision and renew their contract with the Eugene Emergency Physicians.

The Eugene Emergency Physicians have been part of our community for decades and I'm so happy to see that they will be able to continue to be part of our community. This is what happens when we come together and support one another in our community.
Last month, I had the honor of being the speaker f Last month, I had the honor of being the speaker for the Narrative Lab. Narrative Lab is a program that is run by a wonderful nonprofit, B.L.A.Q. Youth. The Narrative Lab program is focused on building the knowledge and understanding of storytelling and civic engagement for students in the 4th-12th grade and their families. The students asked so many great questions and I left the event feeling so inspired. I can't wait to see how these students use their Narrative Lab knowledge and become future leaders in our community. Thank you again for the opportunity Shanaè & Kodjo! 🩵

Here's what I believe: taking care of our environment and taking care of our neighbors aren't separate things. We can expand housing, grow our economy, and support the people who need it most, while also being responsible stewards of the beautiful place we all call home.

That's not either/or for me. It never has been. Thoughtful decision-making means looking at the full picture: our land, our economy, and the well-being of every person in this community.

Thank you, OLCV, for seeing that vision and standing with me. I'm so excited about what we can build together.

This means everything to me. I've spent time listening to renters and working families across Eugene, hearing what keeps them up at night, and this endorsement tells me that work matters. Plus I'm a renter myself. Housing is personal to me. I know what instability feels like, and I know what becomes possible when people have a safe, affordable place to come home to.

Accessible housing for everyone in Eugene. Period. That's not just a talking point for me. It's the reality of many Eugenians and I want to be your champion and voice on the Eugene City Council. 

I'm grateful to have earned the trust of an organization that fights so hard for the people I want to serve. Let's keep building this together.

To my friends and neighbors in Cal Young, Goodpast To my friends and neighbors in Cal Young, Goodpasture Island, Santa Clara, and Northeast Eugene, you have a choice this May election and I'm asking for the chance to earn your vote. 

This whole campaign has been about showing up. Meeting people where they are. Sitting with people and hearing what matters to them. Every single conversation has shaped how I think about this work, and I'm a better candidate because of it. I have more exciting announcements in the coming days, so follow and share my posts as much as you can to support our platform!

Ward 5 deserves a councilor who listens first, leads with heart, and makes thoughtful decisions that center the dignity of every neighbor in this community. That's who I am. That's who I'll be on Council.

Accessible housing. A thriving local economy. Real support for our seniors, veterans, and those who need it most. I'm ready, and I'm so excited about what's ahead.

Let's do this, Ward 5!

I stood with over 200 community members and neighb I stood with over 200 community members and neighbors this past week, and I'd do it again tomorrow.

Eugene Emergency Physicians have served this community for 35 years. They're our neighbors. They chose to be here. And PeaceHealth executives want to replace them with an out-of-state, for-profit corporation that has never operated in Oregon. 93% of PeaceHealth's own medical staff voted no confidence in this decision. And still, leadership isn't listening.

When I talk about improving quality of life in Eugene, this is what it looks like. Standing up for the local workers and institutions that take care of us. I will always show up for what is right. I will always stand with our workers and neighbors. That's not politics, that's principle, and it's exactly the kind of leadership I'll bring to City Council.

Housing is the foundation of a strong community. Housing is the foundation of a strong community.

Eugene needs real solutions: more housing options, responsible growth, protected affordability, and policies that prevent displacement. Equity must remain at the center of housing policy so historically marginalized communities have access to safe, stable, and affordable housing.

Smart, people-centered housing that keeps our neighborhoods livable, equitable, and accessible — that’s what I will fight for.
