Saving Our Forests:
$50M for Jobs and Scouting’s Future
I've spent years teaching young Oregonians to respect our forests—not just as wild places, but as vital lifelines for our communities. Wildfires now cost us $500 million annually, threatening towns like Pendleton and John Day, and putting Oregon’s $1 billion timber industry at risk. My $50 million forest management plan focuses on prevention, restoration, and workforce training across 197 communities to protect jobs and preserve our land.
🔥 Fire Prevention – $25M
Fuel breaks and regulatory reform to slow fires before they spread. (50% GOP support, 2024 X)
🌱 Habitat Restoration – $15M
Restore ecosystems in the Willamette Valley—so future Scouts can explore, camp, and learn. (34% Dem support, 2021 DHM)
🛠 Training & Drones – $10M
Modern tools and forester training in Bend to monitor and manage forests with tech-forward solutions. (36% Independent support, 2023 OregonLive)
Transforming Schools: $1.605B for Our Kids’ Dreams
I’ve seen how strong schools shape confident leaders. But with 16,000 overcrowded classrooms and 1 in 5 students struggling, Oregon’s kids deserve better. My $1.605 billion education plan invests in class size reduction, mental health support, and career readiness—keeping all 560,000 students safe and on track, especially after tragedies like Florida’s.
🏫 Choice & Transparency – $501M
Empowering families through $500M in public charter options and a $1M independent audit. (50% GOP support, 2024 X)
🛡 Equity & Safety – $1.005B
$1B for Oregon’s low-income districts and $5M for student counselors—because zip code shouldn’t determine opportunity. (34% Dem support, 2021 DHM)
👩🏫 Results & Readiness – $610M
Hiring 2,000 new teachers, 25,000 tutors, and preparing 5,000 students for good careers. (36% Independent support, 2022 OEA)
Impact Metrics
