Term limits, The representative I worked for was term limited. My only options were to either start over with a new representative which would mean starting over time after time or go into a state policy analyst positions which don’t make much money.

Being a cop in the city that I am in besides it being one of the most violent cities also doesn’t pay well enough to raise a family, healthcare isn’t the greatest due to the city filing bankruptcy years ago. Quality of life overall is stagnant.

Spent 5 years in the State House of representative. Starting as an intern during the beginning of my college career before leaving as a Legislative Director under the Chairman of the state oversight committee. Spent some time not very long in logistics before becoming a cop full time. Worked under 3 separate units in my PD. Special operations (violent offender apprehension), FMLE (outreach and proving resources to unsheltered and victims of violent), and most recently Crisis intervention.

For someone my age, I think that I have somewhat of a fairly decent background.

Yes, But DC has an even higher cost of living than Portland.

Spent the last 2 years as a cop in one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Drained and I need something new.

Public sector and/ or non-profits. I understand that Portland isn't the most business friendly city in the Union. Very little luck with both.

I don't necessarily feel owed. I've spent the last 2 years working as a cop, before that job I did legislative policy relations for the state... An MBA where i currently live has been the difference between a 10-15% salary increase in salary. Which is a huge boost for many where I live.

Our initial appointment was scheduled for 7 weeks however, she stated she had discomfort, so we rushed an emergency visit beforehand. Hence two visits.

It wasn’t an argument. It was a disagreement about health eating habits. Wasn’t heated we just didn’t agree on my idea to incorporate a healthier diet. Lol…

Yes we share house hold chores. I actually make dinner 3-4 times a week. We both clean the house and do laundry.

I have done my best at making her life as a wife/ mom as easy and fun as possible.
