Michael's priorities
Fighting for Our Community
Here's what Michael will fight for in Salem.
Lower Cost of Living
Making Oregon more affordable for working families.
Responsible budgeting that protects taxpayers and lowers the cost of living. He works three jobs to afford his own home, and he knows firsthand what it takes to make ends meet.
Safe Communities and a Stronger Oregon
Safer streets. Stronger communities.
Support police, firefighters, and emergency responders, expand mental health supports, and strengthen crime prevention efforts to keep Oregon communities safe.
Affordable & Accessible Health Care
Timely care. Lower costs. Better outcomes.
Expand access to primary care, specialty care, mental health services, and affordable treatment so kids, seniors, and working families can get the care they deserve.
More Affordable Housing & Opportunities for First Time Homebuyers
Affordable homes. Thriving communities.
Making homeownership more affordable, supporting safe communities, and investing in vibrant downtowns that benefit families and local businesses.
Better Education & Opportunities for Students
Strong schools. Bright futures.
As a high school history teacher for more than 10 years, Michael has seen firsthand what works—and what doesn't. He will strengthen literacy and attendance, improve funding for special education, expand career and technical education, and create more pathways to good-paying jobs.
Toll-Free Roads & On-Time Projects
Reliable infrastructure that doesn’t waste time or money.
Deliver transportation projects on time and on budget with high-quality, union construction jobs, responsible spending, and long-term reliability for Oregon communities.
Strong Jobs & Strong Local Businesses
Jobs that support families and strengthen our community.
Create living-wage jobs that help working families get ahead while strengthening local businesses and unions that protect workers’ rights.
Protecting Oregon Values
Our freedoms are on the line.
Protecting reproductive rights, protecting voting rights, including mail-in voting, and protecting Oregon and immigrants from federal overreach. Michael will ensure a fair justice system that treats everyone equally, and he will stand up for the rights of all Oregonians.
