Serving as your State Representative is a privilege. I promise to take this responsibility seriously. Because I want to stay independent in order to best represent your family's interests, I am not accepting money from Political Action Committees or lobbying groups.
I have more than a decade of experience with issues that affect all Oregonians, such as energy policy and the state budget. My work at Metro on our region's livability has given me experience with local issues and prepared me to be an effective State Representative for our district.
I pledge to be straight forward with you, drawing on my experience and professional judgment to do what is right for our friends, neighbors and families.
With your help, I pledge to:
- Improve Oregon's revenue structure, to create a system that is predictable, more fair to the middle class, closes tax breaks, captures revenue from tourists, and provides reliable investment in public services
- Protect a woman's right to choose
- Fund public schools and full-day kindergarten
- Fight for universal health coverage
- Bring job training and economic opportunity to all
- Defend Oregon's Domestic Partnership Law
- Invest in renewable energy and conservation to keep consumer prices under control
- Work for environmentally sustainable transportation, bikefriendly roads, efficient transit, and pedestrian-oriented communities
- Support senior citizens and Oregon Project Independence
