Environment / Energy We must preserve and expand incentives aimed at facilitating the transition to clean energy alternatives in both individual and business transportation sectors. Healthcare I am passionate about and determined to separate insurance coverage from employment by supporting a universal healthcare plan. Healthcare Fighting for accessible and affordable medical and mental healthcare for ALL Oregonians. Healthcare I will champion efforts to implement a single-payer healthcare program and look for out-of-the box solutions in Oregon to ensure every person has the healthcare they need available and affordable when they need it - including reproductive and gender affirming care. Housing We need to upgrade outdated and inadequate infrastructure to support new development. We should strive to stay within existing urban growth boundaries which means finding a balance between erecting new construction and repurposing existing buildings where possible. Taxes / Budget I’ll bring my accounting expertise to help identify areas where our budgets could be improved, my analytical and critical thinking skills to explore new and existing solutions and work on putting them into action. Environment / Energy We need policies in place that will protect our communities from the threat of natural disasters and climate change in the future.
