Jason Kropf: Standing Up for Bend’s Values

A father, fourth-generation Oregonian, and public-school graduate, Jason brings Bend’s values to Salem.

As our State Representative, Jason is delivering for us in Salem, and will continue fight on the issues that matter most, including:

Addressing homelessness and the affordable housing crisis. Jason successfully championed legislation to build more affordable housing in Bend and provide funding to expand shelter access and wraparound services. Jason will continue to push for targeted investments to help get people off the streets and create more affordable and workforce housing.

Supporting families and strengthening education, by championing the Early Literacy Success Initiative and delivering the largest K-12 budget in state history, including a $100 million investment in affordable, accessible childcare.

Standing up to protect access for reproductive health care, including contraception and abortion access.

Leading Oregon’s response to the fentanyl crisis. Jason led the effort to increase investments in drug treatment in Deschutes County while providing law enforcement the tools they need to prosecute drug dealers and keep drugs off our streets.

Advocating for affordable, accessible health care by lowering prescription costs and expanding access to mental health care.

Taking climate action by moving Oregon to 100% clean energy, creating green energy jobs, and mitigating the risk of wildfire.

Working for safer communities by investing in crime and violence prevention programs, funding programs to help survivors of domestic and sexual violence, and supporting gun safety measures.
