Tracy Cramer

Criminal Justice / Public Safety Tracy believes in compassion, but also consequences. Real safety means giving law enforcement the tools they need, while also investing in strategies that reduce addiction, prevent crime, and get people the help they need before it’s too late. Criminal Justice / Public Safety Tracy has been on the front lines of addressing the drug and mental health crisis that’s taken hold of too many communities. She supported legislation to re-criminalize dangerous drugs while expanding access to treatment and mental health services. Housing Tracy supports smart, accountable investments in housing that deliver real results and respect the dignity of every person trying to get back on their feet. During her time in the legislature, Tracy helped pass a historic housing package that is already reducing costs, expanding options for farmworker housing, and creating pathways for the homeless to transition into permanent housing. Taxes / Budget Tracy believes government should live within its means, just like families do. In the legislature, she supported tax cuts for middle class families and fought against burdens that drive up costs for those already stretched thin. Tracy will continue standing up to out-of-touch lawmakers who think the solution to every problem is asking families to pay more. Education Tracy is passionate about ensuring every child gets a quality education, regardless of ZIP code or background. That means funding schools responsibly while demanding accountability. In the legislature, Tracy championed both increased K-12 funding and improved oversight for Oregon’s public school system.
