TINA KOTEK
Making a real difference for children
and families
Tina’s priorities are our priorities — like accessible healthcare, affordable childcare, safer communities and greater educational opportunities.
Most important, Tina gets the job done by bringing people together — she understands that for ALL FAMILIES to succeed, we must first address the basics:
- Tina made childcare more affordable by helping
to pass a stronger Working Family Childcare Tax Credit
- Tina helped write and pass a bill to make sure schools can feed
hungry children during the summer
- Tina persuaded legislators to prioritize the Children’s Health Insurance
Program and funding for school-based health centers, so more
children have healthcare today
- Tina worked side-by-side with State Rep. Deborah Kafoury to give low-income
parents better access to continuing education,
while still providing for their families.
- Tina helped build a new coalition of parents, seniors, businesses, healthcare providers and community groups, advocating for stable funding for critical services
“Tina understands that a strong economy with good jobs
has to start with an educated workforce. If you want
a representative who can make a difference for our schools, send Tina to Salem.”
-Nancy Hamilton, Mother and School Advocate
“The Legislature needs more people focused on the
key issues
Tina has prioritized, more people with a track record of getting things done,
and more women. Luckily, with Tina we get it all!”
-Senator Kate Brown
