Since September 2020, I have been intensely focused on our region’s recovery from the devastation wreaked by the Almeda fire. While we are starting to see signs of rebound, I continue to do everything I can to ensure that every individual or family can return to the community.

We need to expand programs to keep our community as safe as possible, including funding for defensible space and forest restoration projects that protect public health and minimize the threat of wildfire. As the climate continues to warm, we need policies like 2021’s 100% Clean Electricity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Acknowledging changing conditions, we must invest in programs that will help residents cope with smoke events and deadly heat spikes through acquisition of air filtration and energy efficient cooling devices.

I will continue work on other issues that confront us, including illegal hemp operations, rural internet connectivity, homelessness, and critical support for post-pandemic recovery of schools, health care and small businesses.

Heartfelt thanks for your support.

I am a life-long Oregonian, who recognizes the downhill trajectory of Oregon’s quality of life. Growing up a few blocks away from where I now live and where I and my children went to school, I know how District 28 has declined. Most of our problems have been created or aggravated by incumbent politicians who persist in failed policies. Here are a few places to start in building an Oregon that works for everyone:

TAXES—Every session of the legislature, we are burdened with additional taxes. Oregonians on the margins are faced with a growing cost of living. As these burdens add up, they fall into the camps of the homeless or otherwise live degraded financial lives. The pressure on our citizens causes mental health problems. The legislature then builds a bureaucracy to deal with the problem necessitating further taxation. The loop closes in on more and more Oregonians every year. Stop higher and higher taxation!

EDUCATION—I believe parents are the sole authority over the mind and bodies of their children. Our educational establishment should stick with the traditional subjects and methods parents expect.

CRIME and PUNISHMENT—Victim rights need to be respected and justice should be fair and certain. Abuse of prosecutorial discretion has led to more crime, not less. Every Oregonian should feel safe! Police reform should not prevent law enforcement from doing its job.

HOMELESSNESS—As noted above, reform of Oregon’s social order should start with government. Coordinating desperate bureaucracies should allow Oregon to focus on solving the problem in a cost-effective way.

ROADS and BRIDGES–In order to keep our air as clean as possible, roads should accomodate the natural growth in traffic and avoid traffic delays due to inadequate road surfaces.

Dear Neighbor,

Few could have predicted the whirlwind of the past two years. A pandemic, global economic shutdown, and two historically violent wildfires impacted communities around our state.

This election is about moving us forward, fixing what we must while refocusing on the opportunities of tomorrow. As your State Representative, I want to share some of what we have done, and a few of the things I believe we can do in the future.

  • Oregon responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. We met the challenges of the 2020 and 2021 wildfires and made progress in assisting our impacted neighbors to rebuild.
  • We established new programs for stabilizing essential service providers, small businesses, and working families to counter the catastrophic impacts of the global “shut down” of manufacturing supply-chains.
  • To confront homelessness, we are accelerating affordable housing creation and humane strategies to help people get off the streets.
  • We reformed our statewide emergency management response and recovery systems, improved training requirements, and secured a new stockpile program aligned with lessons learned.

Now we must look forward: to reinvigorate our K-12 education system, invest in workforce development, small businesses, and our economy, and rehabilitate our aging infrastructure. We must move Oregon forward -together.

Paul Evans. Our State Representative.

Investing in Oregon

Over the last two years the pandemic and extreme wildfires have caused major disruptions to our businesses, schools, and daily lives. Paul worked with his colleagues to make investments to rebuild the economy, support critical services, and address challenges to the workforce.

As many Oregonians have struggled with reduced incomes, lack of affordable childcare, and increased costs of housing, Paul fought for funding to bolster crucial programs and policies that address these challenges. Oregon's future relies on investments in our education systems and most importantly our teachers. He continues to work with state agencies to improve delivery of services in these difficult times.

In the 2022 legislative session Paul worked to shepherd statewide investments including:

  • $300 million to reduce staffing shortages in our schools, support for wildfire impacted districts, and create summer learning programs.
  • $100 million to address the need for affordable childcare.
  • $400 million for affordable housing and help for homeless Oregonians.
  • $100 million to help our communities pursue Oregon’s 100% renewable energy goals and combat drought.
  • Direct relief payments to over 240,000 low wage workers and families.

Paul fought to ensure farmworkers are treated equally under Oregon’s Constitution by requiring overtime pay, while also providing financial support to help farmers adapt to these costs.

As Capital Construction Committee Co-Chair, Paul continues his work spearheading infrastructure and project investments around the state, especially in areas impacted by wildfires, including the McKenzie River community. Investments in our watersheds and water infrastructure must be a top priority as we face climate change challenges impacting our water resources.

Occupation: Business Owner, Oregon’s Finest Automotive

Occupational Background: Welder, Mechanic, Residential Construction, Farmworker, and U.S. Soldier.

Educational Background: Coursework in Business Management, Chemeketa Community College; FCAW Welding Certification, R&S Welding School; Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, U.S. Army

Prior Governmental Experience: Board Member at the Salem Area Mass Transit District representing Zone 2 (Keizer)

A HOMEGROWN LEADER

Fights for Veterans

  • Ramiro is an Army Veteran and has fought for veterans’ rights and as a local veterans program coordinator. Oregon currently ranks among the worst states for retiring veterans, veterans struggling with addiction, and homeless veterans. Our service members deserve better and who better to bring that change than someone who can empathize with combat veterans to ensure they have the support they need.

Strengthening Our Schools

  • As a father of 5, Ramiro knows the importance of quality education for all students. As a community leader who hosts a summer camp teaching youth the benefits of education, Ramiro will work with teachers to find solutions that help support our future leaders and our teachers who empower them.

Bringing Clean Jobs to Oregon

  • Oregon has been a pioneer in clean energy but could improve in some areas. Ramiro plans to make going green a viable and affordable alternative when it comes to transportation, energy, and clean drinking water. This will bring new jobs, new economic opportunities, and a future our children can be hopeful for.

Ramiro had the honor of fighting for the creed that all are created equal and that we all have protected rights. He supports peaceful organizing, bargaining, and human dignity for all which includes access to healthcare and veterans’ benefits.

Vote for Ramiro “RJ” Navarro. Together we can support our veterans, our students, and our Oregon.

Growing up in Gresham I learned about the challenges that our communities faced. A lot has changed and as a legislator I must continue to advocate for the needs of our Gresham & East County communities.

  • Secured $1 million to build the Gresham High School Health Based Center
  • Secured $300,000 to expand Gresham Youth Recreation

I am committed to:

Education: It is important that we continue to expand investments in our education system. I believe that our students deserve to stay in school, and we must do everything to ensure students receive the best supports. In order to take care of our students we must also take care of our teachers.

Economy: We must continue to expand opportunities to ensure small businesses stay operating. The challenges of workforce continue to affect the operations of many. I was able to secure needed resources to expand workforce apprenticeships thus helping build the future workforce of our state.

Housing & Affordability: Housing is a human right. Important investments passed ensuring that we address the homelessness crisis, build and preserve affordable housing, and improve access to homeownership. It is my commitment to see these resources go to full effect.

Public Safety: Gun violence and crime is on the rise. I secured a $2 million investment that will commit much needed resources to start collaborations, interventions, and prevention efforts. It is important to address the root causes of violence.
