Terrence Virnig completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Virnig's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I feel strongly about the need to protect and preserve Oregon’s environment. Climate change threatens our agricultural, marine, and forest resources. Wildland fires are destroying homes, lives, and communities as well as Oregon’s beauty and natural resources.. Solving these problems involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions, speeding the transition to renewable energy, and enhancing resilience. These measures can’t wait.
- Health Care is a right, not a privilege. To this end I support a single payer heath system. This includes Women’s reproductive rights and mental health issues The intervention of Mental Health Professionals (1) in our schools for our young people is important to their development and (2) it is one of the keys to solving the homeless problem. The economy works when workers are paid a living wage. Unions make that a reality. Health care workers should have the right to strong representation like any worker class.
- Affordable housing and homelessness have become major issues. We need to make it easier to build more affordable housing. We owe that to the low and middle income folks and that means many of our young people. And it makes for a strong economy. Our own human kindness demands that we tackle homelessness with affordable shelter solutions and mental health treatment.
