Dana Hindman-Allen has filed to run for Clackamas County Commissioner for the seat currently held by Martha Schrader. She is a Realtor, business owner, and fifth generation Oregonian, who is currently serving on the Clackamas County Parks Advisory Board since 2021.

“I believe that we have to take meaningful action to protect quality of life, public safety and livability throughout Clackamas County, we don’t want failed Portland policies imported to our County.” Hindman-Allen said.

She added, “All over the metro area, residents have witnessed businesses suffering due to crime and cost of living spiraling out of control. As a Realtor for the last 11 years, I have worked with clients who expressed the resounding sentiment of wanting to relocate to neighboring Clackamas County because of the lower property taxes and fiscally conservative County operations.” “However, we cannot stay idle because our communities are fragile and need efficient, professional leadership to maintain and support thriving Communities. In Oregon we have seen how quickly bad decisions in Government have consequences on us all.” Furthermore, “Fresh perspective is needed in a long held incumbent seat, and I believe I have the foresight and business competency to improve efficiency and create dynamic successful relationships with community partners and elected officials to keep Clackamas County from being derailed. I will also welcome businesses seeking a new home and advocate for businesses that are overburdened by oppressive taxes, regulations that suppress innovation and make it hard to maintain a quality work force.”

Hindman-Allen was an Educational Assistant for the Oregon Trail School District for over 10 years, she even launched a volunteer-run theater program there where she produced and directed full-scale theatre productions for the Oregon Trail Academy. She also was a licensed residential Mortgage Broker and understands fiscal strategies and accountability. It is essential for public participation in your government. I will welcome all the community members.

Hindman-Allen said, “Everyone has been impacted by forest fires, we need to partner with our Forestry Management leadership and firefighters to work on sustainable Forest management practices, while making sure our Fire Fighters have enough resources to fight the fires swiftly and efficiently before they get out of hand. My main frustration is with politicians serving their political careers rather than their constituents, and lack of true collaboration with citizens is the driving force behind the desire to serve. When the citizens make it clear to the government that they are opposed to a particular policy and the government continues to steam roll the public, we have problems. One such example is the tolling proposal of Interstate 205, which I do not support. It is just another tax that residents don’t want, another short-sighted policy that will have lasting consequences for citizens who live, work, and travel throughout the area.
