Moving Ahead for a Progressive Oregon

Thank you for electing me to be your Democratic nominee to Congress again! Your vote of confidence makes this all worthwhile. I promise that I will not let you down as our campaign leads the progressive charge heading into the fall. Congratulations as well to my fellow Democrats on winning their nominations.

As we look ahead to the general election with control of the House and Senate hanging in the balance, my priorities are:

Supporting working families:
Inflation is hitting Americans hard. The housing crisis is taking a visible toll on our communities. I am leading the charge to build an economy that works for all. That includes reforming federal housing policies, expanding services to help people in crisis, and making the federal government a better partner to communities and organizations that are helping people in need.

Safeguarding our democracy:
Simply put, the Republican agenda is to limit voters' access to the polls. It is outrageous. Voters everywhere must come together to protect the right to vote and reject state laws that would restrict Americans' ability to exercise that right.

Promoting climate resilience:
The climate crisis is impacting all of us. Our homes, schools, businesses, and livelihoods must adapt and grow resilient to the threat of more frequent and severe weather events and disruptions. I am urging President Biden to declare a National Climate Emergency which would unleash the full power and resources of the federal government to deal with the climate crisis.

It all comes down to this...

The government has a responsibility to be an active force for good. That is the vision that keeps me running and working so hard to earn the right to represent you in Congress.

While we have our work cut out for us, we can win when we stand together for the things that matter–not just to our lives today, but for the safety, health, and security of the generations that come.

Thank you for standing together with me.

Courage,

Earl
