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.

Transportation and infrastructure

Candidate position

Unlike our opponent, we accept no money from the AI data center lobby. Data centers pose a known risk to people and the environment. They put a strain on our power grid, driving up rates and they consume massive amounts of water. I have been in discussion with gubernatorial candidate Andy Ellis (MD) to develop a strong platform regarding data centers. I don’t believe that we can entrust trillion dollar corporations, that place profit over everything, to responsibly build this infrastructure. The only way we might be able to ensure data centers are built properly is if they are democratically and publicly owned. Therefore my campaign is calling for a ban on all privately built data centers.

Housing, homelessness, addiction, and recovery

Candidate position

I view helping our houseless neighbors as a moral obligation, a matter of social justice, and a matter of good politics. I view enforced homelessness as a societal failing and a crime against humanity. I believe that no one deserves to be deprived of basic human necessities. I believe that homelessness as an involuntary condition must be abolished.

Government ethics, accountability, and elections

Candidate position

We’ve had enough with corporate sellouts. We will always prioritize people and the planet over profits. Our office will take the concerns of environmentalists seriously, not just give it good lip service during the election cycle. We are prepared to work with advocates to draft legislation that creates and reinforces strong protections for our environment, our federal lands, and our forests. You can trust me to listen to our environmental advocates, because I am an environmental advocate!

Public record

Public-record research limitation

Public-record research limitation

This does not mean the candidate has no prior public service or record. A record attaches only after authoritative office history and a stable provider identity are established; names, titles, attendance, sponsorship, and inferred responsibility are insufficient.

Campaign finance

Official filings may be amended after publication.

Current campaign-finance summary unavailable

No totals attach without one exact FEC candidate identity and compatible current report. Missing values are not zero.

Research boundary

Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.

Complete public-action archive

Not published

Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED

Names and candidate-stated prior service alone never attach another person's records. Oregon's legislative API begins in 2007; older service remains an explicit source limitation.
