Issue Position: Standing Up for Workers

Issue Position

When cuts to the retirements of police officers, firefighters, teachers and other frontline public servants were proposed, and ultimately passed, during the 2019 legislative session, Chris was one of only seven legislators to vote "no" on these cuts. He knew that eliminating benefits would harm frontline workers and their families, an unacceptable outcome. Chris also sponsored legislation that created Oregon's progressive paid family and medical leave program, so all workers can take the time they need to care for themselves and their families. We can trust Chris to do what is right for hardworking people of Oregon.
