A Green Future for Oregon - Invest in Oregon and Oregonians!

"Investments reflect our values; every dollar should uplift working families, not corporate interests. Mary King’s a proven leader who’ll prioritize the well-being of the multiracial working class. A just economy starts with fairness for all."
Reyna Lopez, Co-Chair Oregon Working Families Party

“Mary will press to establish a state bank to partner with community banks to create good union jobs in the booming clean energy economy. A state bank could be a lifeline for students, farmers & small businesses and provide far less expensive funding for local infrastructure.”
Oregon Working Families Party Co-Founder, Barbara Dudley

“Mary worked with us for Oregon’s paid family leave, paid sick days and a stronger childcare system. She’s pushing for taxing the wealthy and big corporations to fully fund the housing, education, childcare & healthcare that Oregon families need.”
Lisa Dodson, Author of Getting Me Cheap

I’m Fighting to:

• Phase PERS Funds out of Wall Street’s Risky, Unreliable “Private Equity.” Oregon's $53 billion in “corporate raider” funds isn’t all paying out— but it’s gouging Oregonians, raising rents, increasing evictions and strip-mining vital sectors like healthcare & retail.
• Divest from Fossil Fuels, Arms Manufacturers, and Countries Violating International Law: Invest in a less risky, better future.
• Manage State Forests to Slow Climate Change: Let our trees grow; sell carbon credits for money to support rural schools.
