Democrat Maxine Dexter
Doctor for Congress - Compassionate. Effective.
I am a first-generation college graduate who achieved my dream of becoming a physician with grit, a union grocery job and federal student loans. For over 20 years, my patients and my children have trusted me to care for them – I listen, follow the science and help people live their healthiest lives possible. As a State Representative, I’ve done the same. I built diverse coalitions to address our housing and addiction crises, bringing Oregonians together to solve tough problems. I will continue to fight to protect abortion rights, make historic investments in housing, and prioritize the health of people and our environment. I’m running to be your voice in Congress to deliver the results our community needs.
I’m fighting for:
- Ending the humanitarian crisis on our streets: We need safe housing and robust addiction and mental health services for all.
- An economy with opportunity for all: High-quality public schools, affordable childcare and housing, good-paying union jobs, lower cost of living.
- Healthy people, healthy communities: Universal access to affordable, high-quality healthcare, reduced prescription drug costs, ending gun violence.
- A healthy planet: Clean air and water, expand renewable energy, increase clean domestic manufacturing, protect our forests, hold polluting corporations accountable.
- Reproductive Healthcare and Freedom: Codify Roe v Wade, safeguard contraception and IVF, protect clinicians and patients.
- A durable democracy: Get big money out of politics, protect voting rights, increase government accountability.
