BETTER GOVERNMENT
Brian will bring responsible budgeting and greater accountability to the state
budget and government. Citizens deserve representatives focused on solutions,
not partisanship.
JOB CREATION AND GROWTH
Brian will work with other leaders to develop more aggressive, long-term plans
to improve Oregons attractiveness to new and native business. When business
grows, so do jobs for more Oregonians.
EDUCATION
Brian believes our K-12 schools do their job well if properly funded, supported
and managed. Education is a benefit to the entire state and working to improve
the delivery of it to our children is a win for all sides.
ENVIRONMENT
Brian knows sacrificing the environment for short term gain is a long-term
loss. Thorough land use planning increases the success of business without damaging
the natural beauty of our state.
HEALTH CARE
Brian knows when proactive health care is ignored, it always costs us more
in the long run. We need leaders who recognize that paying a small amount now
reaps huge savings in the future.
PUBLIC SAFETY
Brian respects the tireless work of those who protect us every day. Restoring
the losses to police, fire and medical responders will be a top priority.
