A New Dawn For Oregon
Everyday voters across District 2 are paying more for groceries, housing, fuel, and healthcare while wages struggle to keep up. At the same time, too many federal dollars are going elsewhere and corporations are not being held accountable. District 2 should be competing for, and winning, the investment our communities need.
Families, workers, and small businesses across this district are being squeezed from every direction. The cost of living keeps climbing, paychecks are not stretching far enough, and too many opportunities for investment are passing rural communities by. District 2 should not be an afterthought when it comes to economic development, infrastructure, and affordability.
Too many people are doing everything right and still falling behind. These are the problems that need practical attention and real follow-through.
Everyday costs are rising faster than wages, leaving families with less room to keep up and plan ahead.
Housing prices and rent are putting more pressure on workers, young families, and longtime residents across the district.
Local businesses are facing higher costs, tighter margins, and too many barriers to the support they need to grow.
Federal resources are not reaching District 2 at the level they should, even though our communities have real needs and real potential.
My focus is on lowering costs, creating opportunity, and making sure federal policy helps this district compete, build, and grow.
Compete for workforce and economic development funding that supports roads, broadband, water systems, and other essential infrastructure in our local communities.
Push policies that bring down the cost of everyday essentials, including housing, healthcare, food, and fuel.
Support workforce development, apprenticeships, and industries that create stable, well-paying jobs for people who live and work in this district.
Back practical solutions that increase housing supply and reduce costs for renters, first-time buyers, and working families.
Expand access to capital, reduce unnecessary barriers, and make sure rural and small-town businesses can actually use federal programs.
Strengthen oversight to prevent price gouging and anti-competitive practices that drive up costs for families and hurt local competition.
Support a stronger congressional role in trade decisions so new policies do not raise costs on consumers and small businesses without accountability.
We need an economic agenda that lowers costs, supports local business, and brings investment home to the communities that have been overlooked for too long.
