Economic rebound. Not state overreach.

Oregon can’t tax its way to prosperity. And the weight of statewide lockdowns and mandates has been crushing to our middle class. By reducing tax and regulatory burdens, and allowing economic growth, our state’s broadened tax base can support investments. This not only allows our private sector and job base to rebound, but also stabilize our market as we face national economic uncertainty.

 

Support Quality Education

Oregon’s continued low performance in K-12 student test scores is not due to lack of dollars. Robust school funding evaporates fast if parents’ wishes aren’t respected, or if those dollars don’t make it into the classroom. Our education system needs to move back to prioritizing academics, and stay away from politics in class.

More school choice and parent input is critical. Career Technical Education is also vital. A stronger education system means greater opportunities for the future of our kids, community, industry, and our state.

 

Curb the Growing Crime Rate

Our neighborhoods aren’t as safe as they used to be. Policies like decriminalizing hard drugs, soft handling of dangerous groups in urban centers, and the early release of violent criminals, have all contributed to this. Oregon needs to fully fund, and support, law enforcement.

 

Stand Up for Fundamental Rights

The 2nd Amendment, life, private property, and freedom of our own medical decisions, should never be rights we worry about. They are fundamental. They are not granted or retractable by government. We must do everything we can to stand up against elitism which ignores this principle.
