Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Break the Cycle of Homelessness and Addiction

Candidate position

As Governor, Christine Drazan will work to ensure that homelessness is rare and temporary, not chronic and permanent. She will focus state government on measurable outcomes by holding government accountable for achieving meaningful results. She will refocus Oregon's response on helping people recover, reconnect with their families and communities and rebuild their lives. Success will be measured not by how much government spends on drug paraphernalia and low-barrier shelter beds, but by how many people move from homelessness into recovery, treatment and permanent stability.

Housing affordability

Candidate position

For generations, homeownership has been the foundation of the American Dream and one of the best ways families build financial security. Today, that dream is slipping further out of reach for too many Oregonians. Home prices continue to rise, families are struggling to enter the market to buy their first home and Governor Kotek has failed to deliver on her promise of building 36,000 homes per year. Many of the policies she promoted have made Oregon’s housing shortage worse. While government cannot and should not control every market force, it can stop making housing more expensive and difficult to build.

Forests, wildfire resilience, water, and rural land use

Candidate position

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.
