I’m a working parent who understands struggling to make ends meet–not a millionaire career politician. I care about people regardless of their beliefs, and I know what it takes to get big things done together: neighbors helping neighbors.

My vision is for a safe, prosperous Oregon for our working families and seniors: small towns and rural communities that are thriving, welcoming, and ready for the future.

We need a representative in Congress who serves everyone, not just a wealthy few. We deserve federal policies and programs that will help us: make homes affordable; lower health costs and gain access to care, especially mental health and addiction treatment; and fix our aging schools and infrastructure. I'm committed to bringing home the resources we can use.

I will work to lower taxes and everyday costs for regular folks. The ultra-rich and multinational corporations have to pay their fair share so our local companies can grow the industries we need, with union jobs, and so we spend less on gas and grocery bills.

I will fight to restore our rights to abortion care nationally and preserve our freedom to make private decisions with our doctors.

I vow to defend Social Security and Medicare, public education, and environmental protections from a GOP trying to eliminate them.

I believe in fighting climate change for fewer wildfires and better water.

I know that post offices, libraries, and museums are worth investing in as the vibrant hearts of our communities.

I pledge to be vigilant about judicial ethics and limiting out-of-control courts’ power to ignore the people.
