Putting Oregonians back to work
Oregon has one of the nation’s highest unemployment rates and we must do more to put Oregonians back to work. Kathryn will work hard to recruit new companies to our area and give displaced workers job-retraining and educational opportunities to prepare them for future success.State government should earn your trust
Some legislators talk a lot about “accountability,” but don’t do much to ensure it. Kathryn supports audits of state agencies and making local citizens a big part of budgeting and spending decisions.“Kathryn has what it takes to restore taxpayers’ trust in state government.”
Robert J. Austin, Mayor Estacada
Our kids should be students, not fundraisers
Legislators say they’ll “fund education first,” but our public schools keep closing early and classrooms get increasingly crowded. A past President of the Oregon PTA, Kathryn will oppose any school budget that cuts another dime from our local schools.“Nobody will work harder than Kathryn for our kids, our parents, and our teachers.”
Ben Schellenberg, former Superintendent of North Clackamas School District
