Many Oregonians are struggling with unemployment, foreclosures, rising health insurance, and dwindling access to a high quality public education and vital services. To tackle these fundamental challenges and support a strong middle class, Oregonians are shaping bold initiatives. House District 46 has a champion who works with state and community leaders to shape the following priorities:

Growing Oregon’s Economy 

Oregon needs targeted investments to compete in the world economy.

• Create living wage jobs by increasing local capital and loan participation to businesses ready to expand
• Make Oregon a leader in the emerging green economy by investing in public transit, buildings, natural resources, agriculture, and energy infrastructure
• Support the cleaning of contaminated sites to enable new development
  
• Increase investment dollars and economic stability through tax reform

Investing in Our Children

Oregon needs a world-class public education system to prepare our youth for a vibrant future.

• Reverse years of underfunding education at all levels
• Promote PE, the arts, and community service in K-12
• Align early childhood, K-12, and post-secondary systems
• Ensure that education is geared for the 21st century workforce

• Promote long term health by increasing access to nutritious foods, exercise, a clean environment, and a livable community
• Invest in housing, transportation, and vital services for vulnerable populations
• Transform how we promote good health practices and cost-effective health care
• Protect civil rights, including a woman’s right to choose and equal rights for GLBT members
