A Strong Voice for Washington County

Born and raised in the district, Jeff Duyck is a businessman with deep family roots. Jeff understands the needs of our communities and will be a strong voice in Salem.

As our state representative, Jeff Duyck will:

Increase Accountability
Oregon's budget grows by billions every year. Jeff will fight for strong accountability and audit measures to make sure money is spent efficiently and on programs Oregonians need most. Simply raising taxes and fees isn't the answer, especially not before we take a serious look at how money is spent.

Foster a Strong Economy
Jeff Duyck knows a vibrant economy is the backbone of our community. He will work to help grow our economy. Rather than focusing on regulations and taxes, Jeff will look at ways to help both small and large businesses increase the number of family wage jobs available, provide affordable health care to employees, and be community partners.

Jeff also knows a diverse economy is a healthy economy. He will work to grow Washington County's many industries, including agriculture and high-tech.

Prepare Kids for the Future
Jeff Duyck is proud to have a local education and wants future generations to have access to a quality, 21st century education. Jeff will focus on keeping money in classrooms, expanding teacher development and improving opportunities at community colleges and universities.

Keep Communities Safe
Jeff Duyck is committed to improving public safety and cracking down on criminals. He will work with local, county and state law enforcement officials to make sure the legislature does its part to keep us safe.
