Voice for Small Businesses

Christina is a working mom who started a small business at her kitchen table, and now operates a successful law firm where she pays her employees before she pays herself, including benefits like paid family leave.

Champion for Workers

As a leading civil rights attorney, Christina has stood up for hundreds of workers across Oregon to enforce worker protections, like when she took on Wall Street banking giant Wells Fargo and beat them in court.

A Decade of Bureau Experience

Christina has over a decade of experience working with the laws enforced by the Bureau of Labor and Industries – on behalf of employees and employers.

As Labor Commissioner, Christina will make sure our economy works for everyone by:

• Expanding job training and apprenticeships to get people back to work
• Strengthening career pathways to ease our labor shortages
• Building on the successes of strong unions to help anyone who works hard to get ahead
• Cutting government red tape to help small businesses grow, create more good jobs, and give their workers better pay and benefits

“As a small business owner and fearless civil rights attorney, Christina’s depth of experience with the Bureau of Labor and Industries is unparalleled.”

– Governor Barbara Roberts
