Prior Governmental Experience: State Representative, District 42

It's been my honor to represent Inner SE and NE Portland. Coming out of the pandemic, our district needs someone who will continue to lead on progressive changes that improves peoples’ lives.

Changes and causes I have championed in my prior terms in office include:

Making it easier to build affordable housing units;

Passing Paid Family and Medical Leave — ensuring that every worker will have time to care for themselves or a loved one;

Creating a new corporate activity tax to fund schools so we can lower class sizes, ensure every child has a nurse and counselor, and bring back art, music and PE classes;

Working to reform policing practices that disproportionally harm BIPOC Oregonians;

Bringing a new focus on our state’s mental and behavioral health system — securing over $1 billion in new investments;

Making sure our state does its part to help our city and county address our region's challenges with homelessness.

But my work is not done. I’ll keep championing progressive priorities including:

Eliminating racist approaches to criminal justice and policing;

Getting to a universal healthcare system and lowering prescription drug costs;

Eliminating tuition at our public universities and community colleges;

Securing even more financial support for public health and behavioral/mental health services to address the on-going mental health challenges in our state;

Pushing for bolder action on climate change; and

Standing up for legal, safe, and affordable reproductive health services including abortion.

I am supported by many progressive organizations. Some of my endorsers include:

Planned Parenthood PAC of Oregon

Basic Rights Oregon Equality PAC

Pro-Choice Oregon PAC

Oregon Nurses Association

Services Employees International Unions Locals 49 and 503

Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters

Oregon League of Conservation Voters

SHELLY BOSHART DAVIS: EXPERIENCED AND EFFECTIVE

“Shelly Boshart Davis has been an outstanding advocate on both rural and urban issues; issues that impact agriculture, transportation and job creation. We need Shelly’s experience, energy and common sense in the legislature to fight for issues affecting people in Albany.”

Janet Steele, President,

Albany Area Chamber of Commerce

“Shelly is a needed voice in the Oregon Legislature. Over the past years, she has been tapped as a leader in multiple issues facing Oregonians – from Cap and Trade and redistricting to transportation issues affecting the every day life of hardworking Oregonians. Shelly always answers the call to step up and work for fairness and balance in lawmaking.”

Vikki Breese-Iverson, State Representative,

House Republican Leader

SHELLY BOSHART DAVIS: FIGHTING FOR OUR COMMUNITY

I grew up in rural Linn County – this is where I’ve chosen to raise a family and build a business. I believe government functions best when ordinary people get involved.

Listening to our community, I have brought our values to Salem and worked on common sense proposals:

• Fought for a transparent and nonpartisan approach to redistricting to bring fairness and balance to representation.
• Advocated for our youth through “Return to Play” as a mom concerned about the overall well-being of our children during school shutdowns.
• Sponsored legislation to limit the Governor’s emergency powers.
• Continued efforts urging the legislature to expand school choice, allowing parents more freedom and choice for their children. Parents know best.
• Sponsored legislation for tax relief due to impacts of wildfire.

If you choose to vote for me, I will continue advocating for you. I will hold government accountable, support law enforcement and keep public safety as a top priority, and always support our 2nd amendment rights.

TAWNA SANCHEZ:

FIGHTING FOR OUR COMMUNITY

ADDRESSING THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CRISIS

As Chair of the House Committee on Behavioral Health, I worked to help pass a package of legislation during the 2021 session aimed at increasing the opportunities for addictions and mental health support our state has needed for such a long time. This included passing legislation to set up the infrastructure needed for the 9-8-8 suicide crisis hotline and providing funding for mobile crisis response.

GIVING A VOICE TO THE UNDERSERVED

My office passed legislation that creates a licensure for Dental Therapists to increase access to dental care in rural areas and continued our work on the Oregon Indian Child Welfare Act, which requires Oregon’s judicial system to ensure that Native children who enter the child welfare system can remain connected to their tribal communities.

CONTINUING THE WORK

Working to improve outcomes in our child welfare system remains a priority, as well as pushing for a more thoughtful and fair criminal justice system, and investing in much needed Behavioral Health services statewide.
