🗳️ Why I'm Running: A Commitment to Our Community

Hello! I'm Ashley Hartmeier-Prigg, and I am running as a Democrat for House District 27 because I believe it's time to put our community's needs first.

For too many of our neighbors in Beaverton and Cedar Mill, the stability of daily life is constantly under threat. They face the daily struggles of food insecurity, housing instability, and inadequate healthcare. This is unacceptable. My core mission is simple: to ensure every person in our district has their basic needs met. A truly healthy, thriving community is built on a foundation of security, including access to free and appropriate public education, clean air, and a safe place to call home.

🏡 Secure, Affordable Housing is a Right

The foundation of a stable life is safe, affordable, and adequate housing. I don't just talk about solutions; I've delivered them.

  • As a member of the Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) board, I helped facilitate the creation of over 400 affordable housing units within the district.

  • On the City Council, I was a champion for programs that directly assisted first-time home buyers and oversaw the development of hundreds of additional rental units.

We must remain laser-focused on building and maintaining our housing stock. Every person deserves somewhere safe and indoors to sleep at night.

🍎 Health, Environment, and Basic Needs

We are fortunate to have clean, breathable air in HD27, but the rising threat of wildfires and climate change puts this precious resource at risk every year. Protecting our environment is essential for public health. Just as crucial is ensuring every family has access to the nutrition they need to thrive.

💡 Focus, Common Sense, and Fiscal Responsibility

At the legislature, we must bring common sense and an unwavering focus to the work we do. Our common goal must be simply taking care of our community. We are heading into a time of constrained state budgets, reflecting the financial pressures many of us face in our own households. This demands smart, strategic, and responsible governance that prioritizes effective solutions over political noise.

I am ready to lead with experience and a deep commitment to the people of Beaverton and Cedar Mill.
