- Strong communities depend on strong public systems. I believe every Oregonian deserves access to quality education, affordable health care, and the freedom to participate fully in our democracy. I will protect human rights, civil rights, and voting rights, as well as support public schools and career pathways. Keeping health care accessible is essential to building a fair and inclusive Oregon.
- Oregon should be a place where people can afford to live, raise families, and build a stable future. That means housing people can afford, good jobs that grow the middle class, and schools that prepare students for real opportunities. I am running to focus on the basics that make strong communities possible and to follow through with solutions that help working families, seniors, and small businesses succeed.
- Good representation starts with listening and showing up. I am committed to being accessible, working collaboratively, and addressing real community needs. That includes public safety, mental health and addiction services, disaster preparedness, and responsible environmental stewardship. Government should reflect community values and deliver results people can see and feel.
