Moyer brings a wealth of relevant policy experience to the table. Her past roles include advocating for child-related issues at the National Parent Teacher Association and policy strategy for SEIU Local 503 who represents homecare workers and childcare providers. She serves as the Director of Public Policy for Disability Rights Oregon. In this role, she focuses on expanding access to mental health services, ensuring a full school day for children with disabilities, and advocating for the right of people with disabilities to self-determination.

Additionally, Meghan helps elect candidates who support and champion the LGBTQIA+ community as a Basic Rights Oregon PAC board member. 

Moyer's priorities would align with our values if elected to the Board of Commissioners. She will focus on policies that compassionately and effectively move people into housing, combat drug addiction, increase access to affordable childcare, and deliver critical services to assist those most in need.

Moyer would also invest in infrastructure to stimulate economic development and create family-wage jobs, including upgrades to technology and software systems. Thus, the County would have a sustainable and dynamic foundation for economic growth and job creation.

Her past professional experience and track record set her up for success on the County Board of Commissioners. We feel confident she will make a thoughtful and effective Commissioner who will support humane and effective policies for our region.
