No New Taxes on Working Families
Oregon has record levels of tax revenue, yet Governor Kotek and her legislative allies tried to force a $4.3 billion transportation tax hike on you anyway! I am voting NO on this tax when it's on my ballot and I will take the fight even farther as your state senator by cutting taxes for middle-class and low-income families.
Housing Affordability and Homelessness
I voted for a historic housing package that is already reducing costs, expanding options for farmworker housing, and creating pathways for the homeless to transition into permanent housing. I will continue to push for smart, accountable investments that bring down housing costs. I also voted to re-criminalize dangerous drugs while expanding access to treatment and mental health services to combat Oregon's ongoing drug and mental health crisis.
Public Safety
Real safety starts with consistent, public support for first responders and providing the tools they need to keep us safe. We must also prioritize investments into training and recruitment to have enough police officers on the streets, in our schools, and around the county to prevent and respond to crises.
Education and Accountability
Too many parents see their kids falling through the cracks, even as education spending goes up. That's why I've been a passionate advocate for restoring graduation standards for students and ensuring every child gets a quality education, regardless of ZIP code or background. Just like I did when I first ran for office, I will continue to demand accountability over spending, paying teachers well, and protecting parents' freedom to select the best option for their families.
