Official pamphlet statement(verbatim from the official voters' pamphlet)

END GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION Oregon is in crisis. As Governor, I will launch a DOGE-style audit at every level of government to root out fraud, waste, and corruption. Without total transparency, Oregon's problems cannot be fixed. PUT OREGONIANS FIRST While establishment politicians prioritize illegal aliens and special interests, I will put YOU first. I will veto every bill that fails to prioritize our citizens. RETURN OREGON TO GREATNESS Oregon should be the pinnacle of education, safety, business, and affordability, but current policies are destroying our cities and rural communities. We will: • Exempt property taxes for seniors, veterans, and the disabled. • Repeal the Estate Tax. • Restore safety by supporting law enforcement and ending the Sanctuary State. • Enforce mandatory treatment for the drug and homelessness crises. • Eliminate the CAT tax to bring businesses and jobs back to Oregon. • Defend Medical Freedom and protect parental rights. • Audit ODOT to redirect DEI funding toward fixing our damaged roads, bridges, and infrastructure. • Support School Choice to ensure tax dollars follow the student, not the system. • Cut income taxes for families to make Oregon affordable again.
