PROVEN AND EFFECTIVE COUNCILWOMAN
On the City Council, I took on the tough fights to lower costs for working people, defend our freedoms, and keep our communities safe.
I’m ready to use my experience to fight back against Trump’s extreme agenda and make life more affordable by:
BUILDING A MORE AFFORDABLE OREGON
As a life-long Oregonian and working-class mom raising two teenagers, I know the struggles families are facing right now, with increased grocery, childcare and housing prices. I see my neighbors working hard, raising kids, paying taxes–but they are still falling behind.
Meanwhile, Republican politicians are stripping away our healthcare access, defunding public education, attacking hardworking immigrants, and cutting essential services that working people and seniors rely on.
As your State Senator, I’ll continue to put people over politics and prioritize real solutions to bring down costs, improve our quality of life, and create a future where all Oregonians thrive.
For All Of Us. ¡Para Todos!
