• WHY SHE'S RUNNING
  When Oregon’s drug laws needed to be fixed, I made sure Democrats and Republicans came together to address the problems, stop public drug use, and increase the availability of mental health and addiction treatment so people can get the help they need. I continue to fight for better schools. I expanded summer learning programs for thousands of Oregon students and directed resources to early literacy so all students can be reading and writing. And I’m working to ensure that increased investments come with stronger accountability.
  Together, we’re moving Oregon in the right direction. But progress requires persistence. It takes strong leadership to confront the challenges – and the attacks —  our state faces. 
  
Immediately following the 2024 national election, I secured a three-year supply of Mifepristone to ensure Oregonians have options in case of a national abortion ban.  I will always fight to protect Oregon’s values. 
  
My pledge to you is to put people first, prioritize justice and opportunity, bring people together, and inspire all of us to reach for a better future.
  
There’s more work to be done to build a better future for every Oregonian. I hope you’ll join me.
