The common-sense candidate for Medford City Council Ward 3
I'm a 5th generation Oregonian with over 100 years of family roots in Medford's Ward 3. We need NEW leadership in Ward 3. I’m the common-sense candidate and I’m asking for your vote!
Sincerely,
Abigail
Platform
-
More Input: Residents need influence over the decisions that affect them. I will advocate for transparency, accountability, and city-wide voting on proposals.
-
Affordability: Property taxes and utility bills keep going up! I will fight to cut wasteful spending to improve affordability.
-
ALPR Cameras: We need to make our city safer, but surveillance cameras cause serious privacy concerns. Let’s put this to a vote!
-
Local Control: State mandates trample on our rights to make the best decisions for our community. I will fight for local control to solve local issues.
-
Beautification: Maintenance has been neglected and it shows! I will prioritize cleaning up our city and preserving our parks and historical landmarks.
About Me
I’m a 5th generation Oregonian with 100+ years of family roots in Ward 3. I’m not a career politician--just your neighbor who wants to make a difference. Growing up, my family struggled to make ends meet. I worked at a grocery store to pay for piano lessons and earned a full scholarship to college. I pursued a successful career in music, serving as an educator and arts leader for over 14 years. In 2022, I moved back to Oregon to be closer to family. I work hard, fight for what I love, and never give up. As your City Councilor, I will fight every day to make our city a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
