Gabriel issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | I hope to bring a REAL VOICE to ALL of the people in House District #59. Our region needs more economic stimulation instead in places such as Portland, Bend, Eugene, etc. Our Schools need better funding, drop-out rates in our area is far too high. As far as secondary education it almost doesn't exist in the Southern portion of District #59. We need to create more oppoutunities for our young adults that are facing lifelong student loan debts, but are still making very little money upon graduation. I want to focus much needed attention to the our originl inhabitants and caretakers of our region: The Confedetated Tribes of Warm Springs. Their voices aren't being heard in Salem and its time to change that! Unemployment rates are amongst the highest in Oregon and 85 more jobs lost recently with the closure of Warm Springs Forest Products in April. There is virtually unlimited potential for growth in several different industries that can be utilized within the Reservation. I want to see our ENTIRE DISTRICT THRIVE, not just in The Dalles.
Firm supporter of the Cannabis industry, as it creates jobs, fills vacant buildings, and adds much needed Tax Revenue to Oregon and our local Cities. However when the voters of Oregon approved Measure 91 in 2014 we voted to NOT change any laws to the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program that we voted for in 1998. However, since the passing of Recreational Cannabis sales the State Legislature has changed nearly every single rule within the program eliminating a vast number of small businesses and farms in the process. The focus of the new regulations is to allow only the largest companies in the State to continue operating to produce Cannabis under new Recreational guidlines in order generate even more revenue!!! However, all this will accomplish is a shortage of Medicine for those that need it most to fullfill the demands of the recreational market. Quality of Medical Marijuana for Patients will begin to decrease as well. Less attention and care goes into large growing operations than would receive in a smaller operation. All for Greed!!! [6] |
