Meet Waz
Neighbor, Teacher, Coach, Advocate
From a working-class childhood to challenges with identity and purpose, I’ve learned that change is possible. In Oregon, I found community through teaching, coaching, and advocacy. Today, I’m ready to bring that same spirit of service and determination to fight for Oregon families.
