Prior Governmental Experience: None

BRINGING ACCOUNTABILITY, COMMON SENSE AND BALANCED GOVERNMENT BACK TO SALEM

Oregon’s government has gone unchecked for too long. It’s time to bring balance to the radical policies coming out of Salem and start holding our elected officials accountable for the dangerous direction our state is heading. It’s time to fix Salem, and that starts here in District 20.

REINVIGORATING OUR ECONOMY AND SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESSES

As a small business owner, I know what it means to sign both the front and the back of a check. Extreme policies and government overreach have crushed businesses. We need to focus on incentivizing small businesses, strengthening our economy, and building economic opportunity for all of Oregon.

ENHANCING EDUCATION – PUSHING ACHIEVEMENT, NOT MEDIOCRITY

One-sided policies in Salem are severely harming the quality of our education. I’ll fight to create an education system that prides itself in student achievement and provides opportunities for all students.

SUPPORTING LAW ENFORCEMENT AND PROTECTING OUR COMMUNITIES

Around Salem and all of Oregon, we must do more to make our communities safer. We need to support our law enforcement and ensure they have the resources necessary to do their job.

BETTER INVESTMENTS, BETTER OUTCOMES

Salem is unchecked with their one-sided policies resulting in wasted tax dollars, poor outcomes, or unintended consequences. We need to better analyze our policy decisions, so we’re making good investments that are moving our state in the right direction again.

As someone who grew up working-class in southern Oregon, it is a great and humbling honor to be appointed State Senator in this beautiful district. I love this land and these people dearly. From the stunning coastline to the golden marshes, from the deep green forest to the swiftly flowing rivers, I find endless beauty in every corner of District 16. And most especially, I love the hardworking folks in all five counties—Tillamook, Clatsop, Columbia, Multnomah, and Washington—that I have the privilege to represent. I’m inspired by the hardworking Oregonians of my district—folks like farmers, brewers, teachers, nurses, construction workers, fishermen, and small business owners.​

I am deeply grateful to my parents and grandparents who raised me, to my siblings for their steadfast friendship, and to my husband and stepdaughter for their love and support. I could not do this work without all of them.

Occupation: Full-time parent, website developer, self-published author

Occupational Background: in my thirties, I learned several programming languages, went back to school for my MBA, and started a business. I believe my business background and professional skills have well prepared me for the daily business of the Legislature. Earlier work included teaching; the commercial printing industry; and a fishing cannery in Alaska. I believe my broad variety of life experiences uniquely qualifies me to represent the diverse people of House District 18.

Educational Background: MBA City University of Seattle, BA Whitman College.

Prior Governmental Experience: None.

We love Oregon.

We want our great State to be the best place it can possibly be.

We recognize the many challenges facing the world today: from dangerous policies pushed by our opponents, to the growing threat of global climate change.

Yet we persevere. We strive to pursue our vision of a better future for our children, our families, and our communities. We envision a world in which we:

  • fully fund the public schools
  • pay all workers fairly
  • have universal health care
  • combat climate change

Since I began campaigning, I’ve had the opportunity to hear from teachers, farmers, doctors, activists, retirees, labor representatives, and environmentalists. I have a deep appreciation for their concerns.

As a local small business owner, I was a member of both the Silverton and Salem Chambers of Commerce, where I spoke with many small business owners and community leaders. I appreciate their concerns, as well.

As your State Representative, I will stand up for the right to vote; stand up for the rights of women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ people; stand up for the natural environment; stand up for forests and farmland; work for expanded rural broadband; and stand up for the future of all the people of this great State of Oregon.

The Legislature can work for the people, to ensure a better life for everyone, now and in the future.

Occupation: Construction Account Manager, Pastor

Occupational Background: HVAC Service and Installation

Educational Background: Western Seminary, Corban College, Hidden Valley High School

Prior Governmental Experience: Clackamas County Economic Development Commission, Clackamas Workforce Partnership, Library District Advisory Committee, West Linn Library Board

ABOUT AERIC ESTEP

A long time Oregonian raising four boys with his wife, Leslie, in West Linn. He excels in business and non-profit service, serving his community through volunteering and investing in his city and county.

CARE FOR NEIGHBORS

Millions of dollars have been given to care for the homeless yet encampments grow. The State is responsible for public safety yet it has ignored or dismissed crime. The plight of small businesses and communities are talked about yet ignored and often penalized. Caring for our neighbors shouldn’t be a talking point. Care for our neighbors must be prioritized, emphasized, and achieved.

HUMBLE GOVERNMENT

The status quo of the State has been anything but humble. It has increased taxes and pushed for more intrusion into the lives of individuals, businesses, and communities. The legitimate task of pandemic response has been ramped up to indefinite and comprehensive control. Government is a powerful tool and that is why it must be used humbly. Aeric will expect excellence in what the Government must do and provide a dissenting voice where it intrudes.

TRANSPARENT INSTITUTIONS

The status quo of the State is to be hidden and unaccountable. Schools, the Oregon Health Authority, and many other institutions play a defining role in our lives and that is why their lack of transparency has been so painful. Parents delegate responsibility of their children to schools. Parents must know how and why decisions are being made. The Oregon Health Authority has run roughshod over our lives and we don’t know when their influence will lessen. Institutions are important but they must welcome feedback and be held accountable.

JOHN VELEZ FOR BALANCE

There is an opportunity for REAL BALANCE in Oregon. My goal is to listen to everyone’s concerns, find balance and advocate common-sense policies that will help our Small Businesses, Cities, School Districts, Veterans, and the people that live, work, and care about our District.

PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY

I will strongly support our First Responders, who compassionately keep our communities safe. I will advocate for sound policies that keep us safe while also expecting the funds we use for mental health and drug addiction to be audited annually for results. We need practical, proven methods to keep our community safe while providing for those in need who genuinely want help.

LOCAL CONTROL AND STANDARDS FOR EDUCATION

There needs to be a check and balance in our education system, and that is local control of our school boards. Radical Democrats in Salem should not be dictating what our local school boards can handle themselves. I will also push for achievable standards in our education system and push back on bad education policies. We need to make our kids smarter!

SUPPORTING SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS

I will be a fierce advocate in helping them succeed. As a small business owner myself, I understand the challenges of many people here in our communities. We all win with a strong core of small local businesses and manufacturing.
