Annessa Fights for Clackamas County

Clackamas County has always been my home—my community, my grounding place, and the heart of why I stepped into public service in the first place. While I’ve had the honor of representing Gladstone and Oregon City in Salem, I’ve witnessed the same strength, resilience, and generosity in every corner of our county. Clackamas County shows up for each other—during crises, and in the quiet moments that never make headlines. And after years in Salem, I know with absolute clarity that the most meaningful change happens closest to home.

Over the last four years, I’ve fought for survivors, strengthened our water and housing systems, led the fight against tolling on I-205, and secured major investments for our region. But I’ve also seen how often statewide politics overlook the needs and voices of Clackamas County. Our community deserves a seat at the table, not as an afterthought, but as a partner shaping the future we want to build.

I’m running for Clackamas County Commission because I believe deeply in local leadership rooted in compassion, collaboration, and truth—not party lines. I’m bringing my experience home so we can keep Clackamas affordable, strengthen public safety, expand mental health and addiction services, and ensure small businesses in this county have what they need to thrive.

Most of all, I’m coming home because this is where my heart has always been. I want to serve my neighbors directly, and focus on the work that matters most: building solutions with our community, not just for it. This is the next chapter of our shared journey—and I’m ready to continue it, right here in Clackamas County.
