STUDENTS FOR BEN


Oregon's spending on higher education ranks 49th in the nation. That's wrong and we can fix it.

As a Senator, I stood up for more money for education. As Governor, I will increase funding to Oregon's community colleges and public university system and ensure that Oregon's students receive a world-class education at an affordable price. We need to keep our best and brightest here in Oregon.

How will we pay for it? Learn more about my plan to make Oregon's tax system more fair and college more affordable.

I will also continue to champion:
   

Renewable energy
   

Universal health care
   

Civil rights for all
