Jason Kropf: Progressive Champion for Bend

Father, attorney, and proud product of Oregon public schools, Jason brings Bend’s values to Salem:

Improving Affordability: Jason’s helping build more affordable housing, daycare and increased tax credits for 200,000 working families struggling to make ends meet.
Standing up to Trump: Jason voted to crack down on masked federal agents, expanded protections for our immigrant neighbors in hospitals and schools, and made it easier to sue federal agents who violate Oregonians’ rights.
Stronger Schools: Jason championed the Early Literacy Success Initiative to improve reading and writing, voted for increased K-12 budgets, and brought home $65M for OSU-Cascades, because every child deserves a quality education.

“More children are reading because of Jason’s leadership” - Sarah Pope, ED of Stand for Children

Healthcare and Reproductive Rights: After Trump cut billions from Oregon’s budget, Jason fought to protect healthcare for children, seniors, and low-income families. He's working to bring down the cost of prescription drugs and he'll always protect access to abortion and contraception.

“Jason is a tireless advocate for survivors of domestic and sexual violence”
- Cassi MacQueen, Former Director of Saving Grace

Climate Action: Moving Oregon to 100% clean energy, creating green energy jobs, and mitigating wildfire risks.
Investing in Bend: Secured funding for the Deschutes County Courthouse, Bend Lighthouse Shelter, Heart of Oregon Corps, High Desert Museum, Mosaic Medical, CORE3, and the Central Oregon Child Psychiatry Facility.
