"I am a fulltime home schooling mom and retired Navy wife.  I am originally from the Evansville, IN.  I have a degree in Marketing from Indiana State University.  After marrying my wonderful husband Chris, we lived all over the country but now consider Oregon home.  I think Lafayette is a wonderful town with a lot of potential and great people.  I have a desire to see this city prosper and become a place where community is what we are all about, where citizen input is encouraged and valued.  I believe great things are in store for this city’s future and together we can make it happen."

 Dean Rhodes has lived in Lafayette since July 2007. After an award-winning career in journalism, he took a position with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, where he currently works as Publications Coordinator. He is married and has two teenage daughters. He was elected to a four-year term on the Lafayette City Council in November 2008.

His main goal while in office is to see that the City of Lafayette continues to ensure a safe and reliable water supply, including the construction of a new and larger reservoir, as well as identifying a new source for future water since the county’s groundwater levels continue to decrease. He also supports continued saving to tackle the city’s myriad needs, from a new city hall/fire department to improved streets.
