In the District

As your State Representative, Nancy’s number one priority is you!  Nancy enjoys connecting with the community and hearing from residents of District 13.  Here’s a sample of the many ways she impacts our community:

• Supporting constituents:  From helping the the local child care business owner who pointed out costly state forms and mailings, to working with doctors who are helping design a proposal to increase access to primary care providers, and pushing for safety improvements on Delta Highway, Nancy is always working for you, the people of District 13.
  
  
• Listening to the community:  Nancy takes the time to talk with local businesses and meet with groups around the community.  A sample of her meetings and visits:
  • The Teen Advocacy Council at the Hands for Health benefit
  • Grade school students
  • Kiwanis
  • Volunteer leaders and key advocates for AARP, and many more.
    
    
• Spreading the word:  Through occasional informal weekend conversations at neighborhood coffee shops, town hall meetings, her website, and newsletters, Nancy shares resources and important information, such as:
  • Recent laws to crack down on fraud
  • Ways to take advantage of the earned income tax credit
  • New regulations to help homeowners facing foreclosure
  • Local programs that reduce energy usage and utility bills
  • New health insurance benefits available for all of Oregon’s children
    
    
• Speaking up against Renaming Beltline: Immediately after hearing the plan to re-name Beltline Highway, Nancy went to work fighting government waste.  Nancy and her colleagues publicly asked the Commission to re-consider the project and find alternatives to eliminate or reduce the cost. They distributed a public letter voicing concern with the project, had discussions with the Governor’s office, agency staff, and Transportation Commission, and delivered testimony for the Transportation Commission hearing that proposed a common sense compromise. Ultimately the Transportation Commission changed the project, reducing the cost to less than 1% of the original estimate.
