Lifelong Oregonian, Unashamed Populist And Progressive Democrat
I grew up in rural Coos County and raised my family in Eugene. In my 30 years of public service I have always stood for core Democratic values: pro-education, pro-environment, prochoice, pro-senior, pro-worker, pro-civil rights, pro-Oregon!

Telling It Straight
Oregon's tax system hurts working families. The income tax once paid by major corporations now rests on the backs of individuals and small business owners.
Major corporations today pay only five percent of Oregon's income tax; two-thirds pay none.
Oregon's public schools are suffering. Continued funding cuts have turned Oregonians away from community colleges, and crowded more kids into fewer classrooms.
Oregon's health care system is broken. One out of five Oregonians have no access to health care.
