Where I stand on Oregon’s ballot measures ✅✅✅✅

As you sit down to cast your vote, please be sure to vote on the four critical state-wide ballot measures.

Here's where I stand on each of these critical issues.

Measure 111 ✅ VOTE YES

Health care is a human right and Measure 111 recognizes that right in our Oregon Constitution. It declares that the state must work to ensure that every Oregonian has access to affordable health care. Learn more at RightToHealthCareOregon.org.

Measure 112 ✅ VOTE YES

Oregon is one of about 20 states with a constitution that explicitly authorizes slavery for individuals convicted of a crime. Slavery has no place in our Constitution. A bipartisan group of lawmakers referred Measure 112 to give voters the opportunity to remove this language and affirm that slavery is not an Oregon value.

Measure 113 ✅ VOTE YES

Legislators are elected to do the people's work – not skip town when there's a vote they don't agree with. Measure 113 says that elected state legislators who purposely skip 10 or more legislative sessions without a valid excuse will be barred from running for reelection. It's a simple rule: If you don't show up for work, you can't keep your job. Learn more at VoteYesOn113.org.

Measure 114 ✅ VOTE YES

Our country has a gun violence epidemic; one that's impacted far too many families in Oregon. Measure 114 requires that a gun purchaser complete a background check and a gun safety course. It also limits the sale and use of large-capacity ammunition magazines that play a significant role in many mass murders. These are reasonable, common-sense gun policies that will save lives in Oregon. Learn more at LiftEveryVoiceOregon.com.

Election Day is coming up quickly, on November 8. Please join me in voting Yes on these four measures.
