Campaign themes
2016
Cade's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[2]
Education
- Excerpt: "We need long-term education reform. Our teachers continue to put out maximum and admirable efforts, but they are being overwhelmed by the lack of resources and by the increasing numbers of students who are assigned to each class. On time graduation rates are too low, and college costs escalate so quickly, they have their own inflation rate."
The Economy
- Excerpt: "The recovery has left many people behind. Now there is talk of a possible second recession. It is small businesses, not large corporations, which lead the way in job growth. Small businesses provide 80% of new job growth. As a former business owner, I know how hard the struggle can be; as a legislator, I would work hard to ensure small business have the support they need to thrive."
Ethical And Transparent Government
- Excerpt: "Effective government starts with trust. I will work to enact common-sense reforms to increase transparency and accountability within our government. Many laws are riddled with loopholes: we must craft our laws to avoid unintended consequences. I will be a strong voice for our community ensuring our legislature focuses on the priorities that matter most to us."
Access To Health Care
- Excerpt: "Even with recent reforms, the cost of health care and health insurance keeps rising. We need to continue cost-effective policies which create access to affordable health care for all."
Infrastructure
- Excerpt: "We have a considerable transportation infrastructure in our state and district. Many of our roads and bridges need repair. During the next legislative session, it is likely that a transportation measure will again be considered. It is important that our district has a strong advocate in Salem to ensure that Clackamas County’s needs and concerns are included when we act on all of the state's needs."
