This Campaign
Integrity is not a slogan — it’s the foundation of everything. Corruption, whether it’s foreign influence, partisan manipulation, reckless tariffs, or insider economics, makes everything work worse and leaves ordinary people paying the price. I will fight to overturn Citizens United, restore the independence of the Justice Department and the Federal Reserve, protect Social Security and Medicare, end dumb tariffs that tax Southern and Eastern Oregon, and ensure Congress — not one person — controls taxation and trade. We must lead with strength abroad by standing with our allies, end Russia’s assault on Ukraine, uphold security and human dignity in Israel and Gaza, and rebuild the global partnerships that keep us safe. At home, we need evidence-based public safety, modern schools that prepare kids for today’s economy, smart immigration policy that strengthens Social Security, bold planning for AI so prosperity is widely shared, and innovation in energy, water, and rare earth development done right here in Oregon. My commitment is simple: level the playing field, expand opportunity, reject partisan labels, and serve as an Oregonian — guided by the belief that if we each work to heal what’s within our reach, together we can heal the whole.
