Oregon Democrats Fall Short of Their Agenda
“The legislature’s job is to improve Oregonians’ lives”

Oregon Democrat Caucus laid out their 2025 “Oregon Forward” agenda focusing on increasing prosperity, making Oregon safer and healthier, and protecting our rights and freedoms.

Senate Majority Leader Kayse Jama (D - E Portland & N Clackamas County) thinks “Oregonians want their elected officials to work together to make our state the best place to live, work, and raise a family.” However, what has happened is behind closed doors, which provides no evidence that leadership is willing to be bipartisan.

House Majority Leader Ben Bowman (D-Tigard, Metzger, & S. Beaverton) said, “The legislature’s job is to improve Oregonians’ lives. Solving Oregon’s most important problems means our government has to work effectively. We believe that every Oregonian should feel safe and at home in our state, and the values-driven leaders in our caucus will work hard to deliver results for working people.”

How does their proposed legislation stand up to their priorities so far?

1. Keeping more money in Oregonians’ pockets and growing opportunity/Delivering a Roadmap Forward 2. Prioritizing affordable housing and the homelessness crisis 3. Promoting community safety and improving the justice system 4. Maintaining Oregon’s transportation system/Making Oregon work 5. Increasing access to care for all Oregonians/Protecting Basic Rights and Freedoms

6. Protecting our environment and our future – climate change reducing greenhouse gas 7. Improving outcomes for students, teachers, and families/Making Oregon Work 8. Safeguarding our freedoms and holding government accountable

Most of the above bills can be found on Oregon Citizens Lobby including response options.
