I support universal, publicly-funded medical coverage. All Oregonians should have access to affordable, accessible, equitable health care. The Covid Pandemic is the exclamation point to all that is wrong with our current healthcare system, especially the impact on communities of color. No more deaths or ruined lives because of out-of-control medical costs.

Keep our money in Oregon. Stop giving hundreds of millions to JP Morgan, Wells Fargo, and the other banks who crashed our financial system. Use that money to finance projects such as public housing and clean energy infrastructure, and lend to local banks for support of small businesses and farmers.

Create a Green New Deal for Oregon that implements policies favoring small businesses and green technologies in fighting climate change. Convert Oregon to a 100% renewable energy supply, and resist the influence of out-of-state energy interests. Support local food production, storage, and distribution. Our goal should be an Oregon that meets our needs, not one of unsustainable growth.

Get non-violent drug offenders out of our prison system.  Use savings for more K-12 teachers & staff, educational materials, and debt relief for college students.  Promote public housing projects to help alleviate the housing crisis within our state. 

De-militarize the police. Re-allocate funds to mental health and social service workers to avoid unnecessary police encounters. Limit police use of Artificial Intelligence and drones. Resist federal quashing of legitimate protest by arresting and charging federal officers and agents who violate the constitutional rights of Oregonians.
