When the government and extremists crippled the timber industry, her family moved often in search of work and stability. Before graduating from high school and heading off to college, Christine had lived in 15 different homes. Those experiences taught her how decisions made in Salem can hurt people who just want to build a better life. Christine believes government should focus on clearing the path to opportunity and bettering people’s lives – not making things harder.

Oregon is an incredible state full of hardworking people, strong communities, and limitless potential. We should be the best place in the nation to raise a family, start a business, buy a home, and receive a world-class education. But for too many Oregonians, that promise feels out of reach.

Make Child Care Affordable and Accessible: Oregon has very high child care costs – and so does most the country. We have more children in need of care than slots available, driving the prices even higher. I have secured significant additional funding for child care providers in the past, and I am fighting for continued federal funding to make child care and early childhood education affordable and accessible. The best investment we can make is in our children. Investing in quality early childhood education will save money in the long run and, importantly, give Oregonians and Americans the opportunity to create a better life and a better future for their children.

Source topic or question: Education, child care, and workforce training

Candidate campaign source

I’m a strong proponent of public education. My husband and I attended public schools, and so did our two children. Our kids started school a few years after the passage of Measure 5, which limited funding for public education. As a parent I saw the devastating consequences of budget cuts, and I became an active volunteer and advocate. This experience strengthened my commitment to great public schools for all children, public schools where students thrive and educators have the resources and support they need.

Making college more affordable by protecting and expanding existing federal student aid programs like Pell Grants and Federal Work Study. In the short term, we must follow through on the promise of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program by forgiving loan balances after ten years of public service. We should keep student loan interest rates low and help borrowers better manage student loan debt through easier access to income driven repayment plans. I support making higher education debt free. I worked my way through community college, college, and law school, and understand the importance of access and affordability.

Invest in apprenticeships and workforce development: As a member of the Committee on Education and Workforce, I know that everyone deserves a path to success – and I also understand that not everyone is on the same path. The job market is changing, and we must create a path to a good job for all workers, especially women and people of color who have historically faced barriers to employment. I’m focused on expanding workforce training and Registered Apprenticeships here in Oregon and across the country to prepare for the future of work and respond to local workforce needs.
