About Paul
Paul has been involved in local government and civic organizations for years, and brings experience as the owner of a small business in Clackamas County for over 25 years. With that background, Paul saw first-hand the ability of local government to affect the daily lives of residents and business owners. As a resident of an unincorporated area of Clackamas County, he was concerned with a lack of effective public process for land use applications. That led to his involvement in several local governing boards and committees, where he used his personal experiences to ensure effective public engagement and decision making for all community members.
