Have the people of Oregon noticed that one of Gov. Tina Kotek’s major talking points seems to be that she’s going to “fight” this and “fight” that? Everything seems to be a fight. After nearly four years of Kotek as governor, I find myself wondering: What if there had been a little less fighting and a lot more collaboration, problem-solving and building again?

  • Building more housing, hospitals, clinics and upgrading existing and new commercial properties
  • Building a stronger economy
  • Building opportunities for Oregon businesses
  • Building good-paying jobs
  • Building stronger schools
  • And bringing people from both sides of the aisle together to actually get things done for the state of Oregon.

Oregon doesn’t need another four years of Tina Kotek fighting nearly as much as it needs four years of working together and building again in Oregon. Just my thoughts as we head into this election!
