DEBORAH BOONE: STILL A REAL LIFESAVER FOR OUR FAMILIES

Deborah is working to control spending by state agencies and increase accountability in government.

Deborah is leading the effort to reform the legislature and end the partisan bickering in Salem, so we can solve the state's most pressing problems.
