<h4>April is a mom, community organizer, and North Clackamas School Board Director.</h4>Growing up in April’s family meant weekdays were for school and weekends were for trekking all across the state to discover Oregon's vast wilderness and pristine flyfishing waters. These formative experiences taught April to appreciate what a special place Oregon is, and how lucky we all are to call it home. As the daughter of a veteran and a civil rights lawyer, she learned the value of service and standing up for others at an early age.Today, April and her husband are raising their three children in Clackamas County. April knows firsthand the tough choices that Oregonians face, because she’s faced them herself. Early in motherhood, April had to make the tough choice to leave her job because the cost of childcare for three kids outweighed her salary. She knows just how lucky she and her husband are to be able to raise their family on one income, an option many Oregon families don’t have.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/6e14a616-3f50-4d65-a845-6b710054ae81/0d04b7c4-a093-4248-bc45-9058ce1d6ee3/0d04b7c4-a093-4248-bc45-9058ce1d6ee3.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2400%2C1600&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">April knows what it’s like to try and navigate an underfunded education system that leaves far too many kids behind. When one of April’s children was diagnosed with Autism, she was lucky to find the resources her kid needed to be successful in school.April is running to represent her community in the State House because Oregonians shouldn't have to depend on luck. They deserve affordable child care, the best possible education for their kids, and a health care system that includes access to mental and reproductive care.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/6e14a616-3f50-4d65-a845-6b710054ae81/0a6c308a-7bc8-4871-b711-e6021676fe93/0a6c308a-7bc8-4871-b711-e6021676fe93.jpeg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C2400%2C1600&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="right" variant="framed">April believes simply being an Oregonian is all the luck you should need to provide for yourself and your family, to be healthy, and to be safe. It shouldn’t take the privilege of time and resources to untangle the government systems that are confusing and complex – whether it’s our education system, our health care system, or an economic system that breaks its promises to working families. April has spent more than fifteen years advocating for her family and her community, and she’s running for State House because she believes that government should work. For all of us.

Clackamas County residents already pay more than their fair share. That's why I fought until we won a complete repeal of proposed tolling in Clackamas County. Not “paused.” Repealed.

Repealing Tolling

With Washington, D.C. politicians defunding Planned Parenthood as a back-door abortion ban that would limit access to abortion in Oregon, it’s more important than ever to protect every woman's right to make their own healthcare decisions. I'm fighting to defend and expand access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion and IVF.

Keeping our community safe is my top priority. I fought to close legal loopholes and extend the statute of limitations, so survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault get the justice they deserve. And I championed common-sense gun safety legislation, supported by public safety leaders, that bans bump stocks and other dangerous firearm modifications in Oregon.

Keeping Us Safe

I will work with anyone willing to leave politics at the door and find real solutions to homelessness and addiction. I fought to reform civil commitment, so people experiencing a mental health crisis can get the care they need and reformed Oregon’s homeless shelter system with better oversight of how your tax dollars are spent.
