Transportation funding (Measure 120) verified
The record shows

Voted YES on HB 3991 (Sept 1, 2025) — the transportation funding bill petitioners later referred to voters as Measure 120. The bill expands public-transit funding and registration fees that fund road maintenance and transit, both of which affect transportation emissions. House final tally: Ayes 36, Nays 12, Excused 12. Gamba is not listed as a Nay or Excused.

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

Mark Gamba Prioritizes Real Climate Action Climate change is the main reason Mark first ran for office. It remains his top priority. He will continue to drive policy to modernize how we build out our electrical transmission systems to enable a more rapid transition to clean energy. He is focusing on modernizing our land use system to speed permitting of clean energy and reducing GHGs from our transportation system. Mark Gamba Champions Solutions to the Housing Crisis Homeownership is the traditional way of building generational wealth and stabilizing housing costs. It is increasingly out of reach for working Oregonians. Mark has led the charge on reforming how we finance affordable housing, on renter protections, and on lowering the cost to construct new housing. He is now working to kick off a massive program to build thousands of new affordable homes to be purchased by working families, through a public/private partnership. Mark Gamba Fights to Rebalance the Scales of Wealth Inequality Nearly all of our societal ills may be traced back to the diminishing share of wealth held by the middle and lower classes. From diseases of despair like drug addiction, to rampant unsheltered homelessness, the concentration of wealth into the hands of a relative few has left the rest of us increasingly struggling to survive. Mark is unafraid of taking on monied interests and pushing for bold, transformative change.
