Susan understands that growing small business and creating living wage jobs is the key to economic prosperity in Oregon. She saw as her husband struggled with bureaucracy with his small business, and she wants to make Oregon a better place for small businesses like the one he had. She will fight to ensure business owners can cut through the red tape in Salem so they can grow--and hire local workers. She will create opportunities for responsible economic development that balances the need for good jobs in high tech and agriculture in order to provide the best for our unique district.
