Get StartedOregon currently prohibits excessive price increases for essential goods and services during declared market disruptions, but families can face exploitative pricing outside emergencies too. I support exploring stronger protections against price gouging and other abusive pricing practices in markets for essential goods and services where consumers have little practical ability to shop around.

Childcare isn't a luxury—it's essential economic infrastructure. I will fight for sustainable, dedicated childcare funding that reduces what families pay while ensuring providers can earn a living wage and stay in the profession. Oregon should develop a solution that works for Oregon families and makes quality childcare something working parents can actually afford, and I want to be part of that effort in Salem. Learn more
I will invest in CTE programs that give students hands-on experience and direct pathways into careers in construction, advanced manufacturing, healthcare, agriculture, renewable energy, and other industries critical to Oregon's future. Learn more
I will fight for stable, equitable K-12 funding that keeps pace with what it actually costs to educate Oregon's kids, while strengthening accountability so additional dollars translate into better outcomes, smaller class sizes, stronger student supports, and the resources educators and classified staff need to succeed.

I will work to reduce the financial barriers that prevent qualified Oregonians from pursuing college, professional credentials, and advanced training, while strengthening Oregon's public colleges and universities and holding institutions accountable for keeping education accessible and affordable.

I will support effective investments and incentives to recruit and retain the teachers, classified staff, specialists, and other school employees who make public education possible. That means not only addressing teacher shortages, but investing in the educational assistants, counselors, nurses, behavioral health professionals, bus drivers, nutrition workers, custodians, and other staff who provide the essential wraparound supports that make public education possible.

I will take on rising premiums, deductibles, prescription drug prices, and out-of-pocket expenses that force working families to delay or go without necessary care. Learn more
I will push back against federal efforts to dismantle Medicaid, protect coverage for the Oregonians who rely on it, and look for every opportunity at the state level to preserve and expand access to care. Learn more
Getting sick shouldn't mean going broke. I will support stronger protections against crushing medical debt, work to prevent medical bills from becoming financial emergencies in the first place, and hold healthcare systems accountable for connecting eligible patients with financial assistance. No family should lose its financial security because someone needed medical care. Learn more
Rural and smaller communities are losing providers and essential services, forcing families to travel farther for everything from routine appointments to maternity care. I will prioritize support for rural hospitals, community health centers, and local clinics; invest in recruiting and retaining rural providers; and fight to preserve essential services close to home. Your ZIP code should not determine the quality of healthcare you can access. Learn more
Explore stronger tools to discourage large-scale speculative purchasing of homes and ensure our housing market prioritizes homes for people to live in—not simply assets for investors to accumulate. Learn more
Help Oregonians weather temporary financial setbacks before they become evictions, foreclosures, or homelessness. Keeping someone housed is both more humane and less costly than trying to help them after they have lost their home. Learn more
Protect renters from unfair practices, unreasonable displacement, and housing instability while ensuring Oregon's rental market remains workable for responsible housing providers. Learn more
Build more housing at a range of sizes, types, and price points—including starter homes, apartments, townhomes, duplexes, manufactured housing, and housing appropriate for seniors and people with disabilities. Learn more
Lowering costs matters, but so does increasing what working people bring home. I will protect collective bargaining rights, make it easier for workers to organize, defend prevailing wage and strong labor standards, and oppose efforts to undermine unions. When workers can bargain together for better wages, healthcare, retirement, and working conditions, families have more power to keep up with the cost of living. Learn more
