John,
Last night’s debate made it clear: Tina Kotek is the only candidate with a plan to create a better future for all Oregonians.
Take a look below at the email she sent yesterday about her plan to lower high prices for working families.
And as Oregonians officially start casting their ballots, it’s really important for voters to hear what’s at stake for working families in this election — which is why she launched her "Fighting for Working Families" Tour yesterday.
A just-released poll puts us 2 points ahead of MAGA Republican Christine Drazan. With ballots already in voters' hands, this is the moment we need to push. We need your help to get out the vote for Tina and organize Oregonians around issues like lowering prescription drug costs, expanding housing affordability, and increasing access to child care.
But we need your help to power our work through Election Day (19 days away!) Will you chip in $19 to help elect a leader who, on day one, will be ready to stand up for working Oregonians?
Thanks,
– Team Tina

To: [email protected]
Folks —
Across Oregon, people are frustrated and struggling to make ends meet. With rising prices for gas, groceries, and prescription drugs, I know what those kitchen table conversations sound like.
I started my career at Oregon Food Bank, hearing directly from folks all over the state who were struggling, many working hard and still feeling left behind and in need of help.
As House Speaker, I worked hard for working families – increasing the minimum wage, capping insulin prices, and protecting renters from eviction. And as Governor, I will continue to keep fighting to make housing, child care, and health care more affordable.
My plans include:
- Lowering prescription drug costs for Oregonians by partnering with other states to help keep prices down.
- Addressing our affordable housing shortage by building more workforce housing across the state.
- Improving access to child care by cutting the red tape that limits where home-based child care providers can operate.
- Holding companies accountable for stealing wages from workers by increasing enforcement on bad employers and ensuring justice for victims of discrimination in the workplace.
- Giving all Oregonians a fighting chance to develop new job skills by providing more access to community college, job training, and apprenticeships while also expanding access to high-speed internet.
There’s a lot a Governor can do to help hard-working Oregonians make ends meet. I’ll work every day to lead with that goal in mind.
But before we can create change, I’ve got to win this election. Can I count on you to contribute $10 or more to protect our economic future? Ballots will hit mailboxes TODAY, so this really is a critical important moment to support us.
