<p>"Our campaign is about opening doors, inviting everyone to join in shaping our shared future."</p>

<h2>Meet Nick</h2><p>I was raised on a dairy farm, I put myself through undergraduate and graduate school - I am no stranger to hard work. I also survived a healthcare crisis during grad school. I bring a fresh perspective and an ability to bridge the rural and urban divide. As a rural democrat, I will do everything I can to bring both sides together, and end divisive politics to finally deliver real results that work for all of us.</p><p>I started my career at Portland State University. After navigating through my own health crisis, I stayed on with the university where I managed healthcare services and policies as the Student Health Advisor for over a decade. This experience deeply committed me to ensuring accessible and effective healthcare for all. Working in this role, I managed complex budgets and developed health policies that impacted 28,000 students, teaching me the ins and outs of public resource management and the need for healthcare solutions tailored to specific needs. Later, I worked as a legislative aide in this very district, working directly with District 52 constituents. This experienced sharpened my policy-making and constituent service skills, equipping me with the necessary insights to effectively navigate the legislative process. I am committed to solving problems and governing with transparency, integrity, and a focus on community leadership.</p><p>Aside from my professional life, I have a strong personal connection to education through my husband, who is a dedicated middle school teacher. This relationship has given me a deeper understanding of the educational system, fueling my advocacy for better resources and support for educators and students. And of course, I am Uncle Nick to my 10 beautiful nieces and nephews.</p><p>I am driven by my commitment to my friends, family, and community. I want more opportunities for my nieces and nephews—opportunities like better schools, accessible healthcare, and safe neighborhoods. These are the same things I want for all of Oregon’s children—the promise of a brighter, more secure future. Together, we can make these aspirations a reality.</p><span class="image image-framed image-center image-tilt-left" style="width: 100%;"><span class="image-inner-wrapper"><img src="https://run.imgix.net/8f25fb88-5234-46c9-87a5-00cf76279b31/9720aee8-d3e9-4566-849d-2c86b7702451/9720aee8-d3e9-4566-849d-2c86b7702451.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=5&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C12%2C5957%2C1927&amp;w=1500" alt="" title="" caption="The view out across our fields from my childhood home.
