Current Projects

• Date proposed: 5/28/25

• Category: Economic Policy

• Goal: Reduce the income tax burden on working Oregonians/Citizens to increase disposable income and economic activity.

• Reasoning: Many families are struggling with rising living costs. Lowering income taxes could give them relief and stimulate spending.

• Proposed Action: Support legislation to reduce Oregon state/United States income tax brackets for low- and middle-income earners.

• Status: Responded

• Idea: support having School Resource Officers (SROs) in Oregon schools, but only if they are properly trained, clearly guided, and focused on safety and trust, not punishment.

• Date proposed: 6/2/25

• Category: Education

• Goal: Add SROs to schools all across Oregon

• Reasoning: SROs help make schools safer by being ready for emergencies and giving peace of mind to students, parents, and teachers.

• Most parents support SROs, showing that families care about having safety in schools.

• Some people are worried about police in schools, but if SROs are trained and used the right way, those concerns can be addressed.

• SROs should not do school discipline. They should focus on safety, not punishment.

• Training is key, SROs need to understand kids, handle tough situations calmly, and treat all students with respect.

• Feedback from students and the community helps keep SROs accountable and doing their job right.

• Funding is possible through smart use of school safety dollars, partnerships, and federal grants.

• Proposed Action: Email Congress

• Status: Emailed

This proposal aims to lower housing prices in Oregon by increasing the supply of affordable homes in a way that’s smart, sustainable, and fiscally responsible. It focuses on encouraging smaller, lower-cost housing within existing neighborhoods, streamlining construction permits to cut delays, supporting modular and prefabricated building methods, and allowing limited expansion of urban growth boundaries where appropriate. To increase availability, it also suggests vacancy fees on empty properties and incentives for private developers to build affordable units. The overall goal is to reduce housing costs without expanding government spending, using policy, planning, and private investment to make Oregon more affordable for families, workers, and future generations.
