Homelessness - we must focus on accountability for all homeless services
Crime - we can support addiction services while also pushing against drugs and early release of violent criminals.
Alan Stout (R)
In addition, I want Oregon to be a small-business friendly state, meaning that new businesses move here not just for the beautiful environment, but also for the economic freedom to grow.
I’m interested in more decisions being made locally. That means our cities and our counties need to be held accountable to doing the will of their own citizens, and that the State should only show up when the municipality or county is unable to take care of itself.
I’m interested in a pedestrian-first approach to transportation planning. I believe that putting pedestrians first will reduce wear and tear on roads, will reduce pollution, will improve health, will spur local businesses, will increase safety for children and will lower the number of Oregonians who choose to leave the state.
