FEATURED POLICY IDEA

Latest Policy Proposal
-

Short summary:

Around 80% of parents support having officers in schools, showing strong concern for student safety. School Resource Officers (SROs) can help create a safer, more supportive environment if their roles are clearly defined. They should focus on safety and crisis response—not discipline—and receive training in child development, trauma response, de-escalation, and cultural awareness. Regular community feedback can help keep them accountable. I support House Bill 2179 and suggest building on it by requiring specialized SRO training, clear role definitions, and ongoing input from students and the community. As a student, I believe our voices should shape how school safety is handled.

Lowering Income Tax in Oregon/US

    I’ve developed a simple tax relief idea that reduces the current federal income tax rates slightly based on income levels, with bigger relief for lower earners and smaller relief for higher earners. The plan also includes a smooth phase-out near income thresholds to avoid sudden changes in benefits. Please note that the income brackets in my plan are based on the single filing status. For married couples filing jointly, the brackets would be roughly double to reflect combined income. I’ve attached a chart explaining the proposed tax cuts by income bracket and how the phase-out would work. Income Range Tax Rate Cut (%) Notes Under $45,000 2.00 Full cut $45,000 – $50,000 2.00 → 1.75 (phasing) Linear decrease from 2.00% to 1.75% $50,000 – $90,000 1.75 Full cut $90,000 – $95,000 1.75 → 1.25 (phasing) Linear decrease from 1.75% to 1.25% $95,000 – $150,000 1.25 Full cut $150,000 – $160,000 1.25 → 0.50 (phasing) Linear decrease from 1.25% to 0.50% $160,000 – $295,000 0.50 Full cut $295,000 – $300,000 0.50 → 0.10 (phasing) Linear decrease from 0.50% to 0.10% $300,000 and above 0.10 Full cut
