DAVID ON THE ISSUES
Putting Oregon First
For too long, many Oregonians feel their local and federal elected leaders are out of touch and only focused on their far-left base, leaving so many of us in Oregon feeling forgotten. Oregon deserves leadership that puts families, communities, and local jobs first. You deserve a voice in Washington that is actually advocating for solutions, not just trying to grab headlines and sound bites.
Making Oregon Affordable
Oregon families are being priced out of their own state, and businesses are moving across state lines. We need common-sense solutions that incentivize job growth in our communities, help make homes more affordable, and bring back the American Dream for Oregonians. That means no new taxes, more support for our local businesses, eliminating fraud, and reducing unnecessary government spending.
Addressing Crime & Public Safety
Our Law Enforcement Officers are our friends, neighbors, and the blue line that serves and protects us all. Rising crime is threatening the safety of Oregon communities and our families. I support law enforcement, accountability for repeat offenders, and restoring consequences that keep our kids and communities safe.
Ending the Homelessness Crisis
Oregon continues to shell out millions of dollars in their attempt to address the homeless crisis, only for the homeless populations to increase in Portland and across Oregon. Our once beautiful City of Roses continues to be a national headline of despair, with businesses and families shutting down and leaving. We need drug and mental health treatment that works, and I have and will continue to fight for treatment and accountability, as well as an end to permanent street camping. We need strong elected leaders who will represent the homeowners and business owners in the city of Portland and across Oregon, not the radical activists who have aided in the decline, brought generational homelessness, and shown no accountability with their far-left agenda.
Wildfire Prevention Policy
Catastrophic wildfires are ever-increasing in Oregon and across the western states. I have and will continue to lead the state to address the desperate need for active forest management, fuel reduction, and working with landowners to better protect homes and communities. These basic actions we continue to fight for will result in growing good, rural jobs, locally sourced timber for housing production and manufacturing, and provide for healthier, safer communities. As your United States Senator, I will always fight to make sure federal regulations prioritize the needs and safety of the people who actually live here in Oregon, and not political extremists.
