Get StartedPublic safety starts with adequate staffing and enforcing the laws already on the books. We will support law enforcement, hold offenders accountable, and stop deadly poison like fentanyl, heroin, and tranq from flooding our streets. Learn more
By healing our broken economy and bringing new jobs back to Oregon through improved legislation, we’ll improve quality of life through increased income for our Oregon families so they can have a life here where they can live, work, and play with ease. Learn more
As Governor, I will use the power of the pen to stop the onslaught of bad legislation that has bombarded our business. Business owners are fearful that every session they will be hit with new taxes and regulations. They need to know that this will stop and that it will be safe to invest their business in Oregon.

Oregon is one of the most regulated states in the country. We must reduce the burdensome regulatory bureaucracy that has been created by evolving our current regulation into common sense policies and eliminate the red tape that unnecessarily holds Oregonians back. Learn more
We must have a state where we have a qualified workforce so Oregonians can be at the top of the list for paying jobs. The state must provide quality education and vocational training to take advantage of the high demand jobs (nursing, trades, etc). Oregon must be a place that a family wants to come to live, meaning quality schools, safe streets, and affordable housing. Learn more
Having each of our 197 school districts negotiate separately puts our education system at a major disadvantage and risks creating unfair imbalances for students. We will move from 197 negotiating tables to one Statewide Bargaining Council. Learn more
With education being the largest expenditure in the Oregon State budget, we must focus on where our dollars are going and why our results are getting progressively worse. Learn more
As Governor, I will ensure that Oregon focuses on the “Science of Reading” that has shown to be the most effective way to teach literacy. Learn more
No team improves by practicing less than its competition. Yet Oregon has some of the fewest instructional days in the nation, and high absenteeism cuts that time down even further. If we want higher achievement and stronger schools, students need more time in the classroom. Learn more
Oregon must use its natural resources responsibly. I strongly oppose IP 28 because it would criminalize everyday practices for livestock producers, hunters, and even pet owners. We should help the Oregonians who work our fields, ranches, forests, and seas—not stand in their way. Learn more
Oregon has more than 265 boards and commissions, yet not a single member has been appointed by a Republican governor. It is long past time to restore balance and ensure these boards represent the full diversity of Oregon’s views and communities. Learn more
Currently in much of our state, the cost of land and layers of fees often push the price of a home beyond what the median income can afford, even before a builder breaks ground. We will work to reduce the cost of housing by streamlining the permitting process. Learn more
Oregon spent well over 1 billion in the last biennium, yet homelessness increased by more than 35%. The current approach, while well-intentioned, isn’t working. We will audit homeless programs and ensure funding is directed to proven solutions that stop addiction cycles and help people get back on their feet. Learn more
We must reexamine Oregon’s land use laws, many of which were put in place over 50 years ago. Oregon is rightfully celebrated for protecting farmland and public lands from development, but we also need a more efficient way to expand land supply where it makes sense. Learn more
Rather than raising taxes, we should increase Oregon’s revenue by welcoming more businesses and families through policies that encourage growth and eliminate unnecessary taxes. The more people who choose Oregon because of our favorable policies, the stronger our tax base becomes—bringing in more efficient revenue to invest back into the state. Learn more
Oregon has the highest personal income tax rates on the working class in the United States. Over half of Oregon households are living month to month and are just one car repair or medical bill away from not being able to afford the basics. As Governor, I will immediately work to lower the personal income tax on the first 100,000 earned. Learn more
I have opposed the gas tax (you can read my testimony here) that unfairly burdens working class Oregonians. Instead of unnecessarily demanding more money from our taxpayers, we must get the most out of current systems through a full audit of ODOT, eliminate DEQ, and work to get gas prices pushed back to reasonable levels. Learn more
Tips and overtime checks belong in the pockets of those who earned it. With all the financial pressure that working class Oregon families face, we don’t need to add additional taxes on Oregonians who are working hardest to make ends meet. I’ll ensure to reject any attempts to tax tips or overtime. Learn more
