Values

I love Oregon deeply, but don’t think it is generally doing as well as it should. I get that Oregon is better than most places, but better than others is not my measuring stick.

I believe that self reliance and independence are strong virtues, but we all need a helping hand sometimes. I have overcome a difficult childhood and breast cancer. Many people have had it worse. We should expect the state to use our money to do its job well and help people in times of crisis.
