Wilsonville is more than just a city—
it’s families, businesses, and community.

Sam joined the Wilsonville City Council in 2025. His decision to serve is rooted in a deep commitment to Wilsonville and a belief that local government must be:
Transparent
Forward-looking
Fiscally responsible
Grounded

His guiding principle: Decisions made at City Hall should improve life for residents today while responsibly preparing Wilsonville for the future. Whether the issue is infrastructure investment, cost-of-living pressures, emergency preparedness, or the long-term vitality of the Town Center, Sam is focused on outcomes that are fair, understandable, and sustainable.
Why I Serve

I believe local government works best when leaders bring practical experience, listen carefully, and remain focused on the long-term health of the community. My goal is to help guide Wilsonville through growth and change while preserving what makes it a great place to live—strong neighborhoods, responsible governance, and a shared sense of community. I welcome engagement from residents and business owners and encourage everyone to stay involved, ask questions, and participate in shaping Wilsonville’s future together.”

Community First
Wilsonville is more than a city—it is a collection of neighborhoods, families, businesses, and community organizations that together define its character and culture.
Sam knows that strong communities are built when residents feel heard, informed, and respected. Sam places a high value on listening to diverse perspectives, encouraging engagement, and ensuring that City processes are accessible and understandable.
As a homeowner, small business owner, and active community member, Sam knows the real impacts that City decisions have on household budgets, neighborhood livability, and local businesses.
Rising costs, including household essentials, taxes, and utilities, affect residents in very real ways. Sam advocates for thoughtful planning and decisions that balance investments with affordability and accountability.
Sam also brings firsthand experience serving on his Villebois HOA, where he works with neighbors to address shared challenges, manage limited resources, and make decisions that reflect the collective neighborhood good. That experience reinforces his belief that local governance works best when it is collaborative, transparent, and grounded in good data.
