Financial Health, Stability, and Security for Every Oregonian.

As a family physician, mom of three, and one of Oregon’s chief budget writers, Senator Elizabeth Steiner has seen firsthand how investing our tax dollars wisely in education and health care can make all the difference for hard-working families.

Elizabeth has always put results before politics. She’s recognized as one of the most bipartisan leaders in Oregon, working with Republicans and Democrats to balance the state budget.

Elizabeth fights for our shared values. In the State Senate, Elizabeth has fought for more affordable housing, raised the minimum wage, delivered health insurance for every Oregon child, increased funding for education, and helped create the Paid Family and Medical Leave program so Oregonians can take paid time off to care for themselves or loved ones. And Elizabeth sponsored the strongest protections for reproductive healthcare in the country, protecting access to abortion for Oregonians.

As Treasurer, Elizabeth will focus on boosting Oregon’s financial stability by:

• Protecting Retirement: Ensuring that the state pension fund is invested wisely to protect the retirement Oregonians worked hard for.
• Helping Oregonians Save: Expanding the OregonSaves retirement program and creating voluntary savings programs to help Oregonians prepare for emergencies.
• Expanding Post-Secondary Savings Plans: Increasing the use of 529 plans so that Oregon families can save for college or other post-secondary education.
• Prioritizing Smart Investments: Leveraging bonding to invest in housing and infrastructure.
