Get StartedI will push for planning to happen before a crisis hits, not after people are already hurting. That means investing in readiness for extreme heat, wildfire, smoke, flooding, winter storms, and power outages. Learn more
I will work to strengthen local emergency planning, improve communication systems, and make sure response dollars reach communities quickly and flexibly when emergencies happen. Learn more
I will fight for job growth that fits District 3 and brings new resources for good wages, real benefits, and pathways for young people and career changers. That includes training that matches the needs of local employers, including the trades, healthcare, education, and small businesses. I’ll also push for state programs that work in rural communities the first time. That means clearer requirements, faster turnaround times, and lower administrative burden. The government must match the pace of local innovation so we don’t lose time or momentum.
I will focus on approaches that are proven to reduce harm, stabilize families, and help people regain their footing, while respecting the realities of rural communities and local service capacity. Learn more
I will support policies that make it easier to care for children and older adults. This care is the backbone of a working community and a functioning economy. That means expanding access to affordable child care and preschool, including strengthening Oregon’s child care assistance so working families aren’t stuck on waitlists or priced out. It also means protecting and improving home- and community-based supports so seniors and people with disabilities can get reliable help at home when that’s what they choose without families having to “do it all” alone. And we can’t get safe, consistent care if we don’t support the people doing the caring. That means better pay and benefits, stronger training and career pathways, and staffing levels that protect safety and quality, so care isn’t a revolving door of burnout and turnover. Learn more
We also have to address the root causes of addiction and homelessness. Prevention and intervention work best when services are easy to find, quick to access, and coordinated. That means expanding mental health care, addiction treatment, and recovery supports, including harm reduction strategies that keep people alive and connected to help. It means investing earlier, through stable housing, behavioral health supports, and community-based prevention so fewer people fall into crisis in the first place. Learn more
