Having successfully grown her business and raised four children, Robyn’s attention has turned toward public service. She is known for her optimism and energy and is a lifelong resident of the Newberg-Dundee area.

Neighborhood Safety:

Robyn is the choice for funding local police, and restricting the use of public dollars that attract transient populations from big urban areas to Newberg.

Budget Ethics and Responsibility:

Safety, transportation, and public works are priorities. Robyn will always ensure these basic needs are met. With appropriated funds, Robyn will favor essential city services over controversial items.

Importantly: Robyn will guide the Council to re-establish transparency with the Budget.

Livability of Newberg:

Small towns in the northwest have been faced with unprecedented challenges, and it is important Newberg retains its identity as a charming and locally conscious community.

Families should always feel welcome and safe in Newberg, and proud to call it their home.

Housing and Affordability:

Robyn maintains that the American Dream is still alive, and Newberg should not feel forced to over-invest in extra high-density housing. She believes residents appreciate our current small-town feel.

Attracting higher-paying businesses to Newberg with their jobs and improving our quality of life is a much more responsible pathway toward affordability.
