ISSUES
 
Paralyzing partisanship is keeping us from solving Oregon's most pressing issues.  I will work across party lines to get things done.  

 

Healthcare

Arts and Culture
  Ben was instrumental in forming the Oregon Cultural Trust, and now sits on the board. (more detail)
 
Partisanship
  Extreme partisanship is keeping us from solving Oregon's problems. (more detail)
 
Initiative Reform
  Ben's plan targets the out-of-state special interest money and influence that takes control of Oregon's laws.  We can recapture Oregon's focus on citizen involvement. (more detail)
 
Business
  Oregon's emerging "new economy," built on technology and innovation, requires the planning and leadership that Ben will provide. (more detail)
 
Public Safety
  Providing a vibrant, stable and well-funded force of public safety workers is the best way to fight fires, curb crime, and create safe communities. (more detail)
 
Education Funding
  Ben is working to bring stable and adequate funding to our education system. (more detail)
 
Fiscal Reform
  Ben has a plan to fix Oregon's broken tax structure.  We depend too heavily on income taxes from hard working Oregonians. (more detail)
 
Energy and Jobs
  Emerging energy markets and new well-paying jobs can go hand-in-hand, benefiting working families, ratepayers, and the environment. (more detail)
 
Human Rights
  “No law shall be passed granting to any citizen or class of citizens privileges, or immunities, which upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to all citizens.” (more detail)
