She was replaced with Councilor Wil Fuentes serves in District 3, which is mostly in Vancouver city limits, with a bit of county area.
Voters rejected the 2012 C-TRAN ballot proposition to extend Oregon TriMet MAX light rail over an I-5 replacement bridge. In 2013, voters countywide opposed funding light rail.  
The County Council website features Resolutions adopted on the I-5 Interstate Bridge Replacement Program. A Resolution on the Modified Locally Preferred Alternative adopted July, 2022 reflects the public votes against light rail, and supports a bus transit option instead.
