Issue Position: Education

For too long, Oregon has failed our children with education policies that treat the symptoms of our failing system, rather than solving the problem. As your Senator, Alan has supported measures to give our children the skills they need to compete with students across the globe. We must continue to ensure our education dollars are focused where they will do the most good for our students: the classroom.

During his first term, Alan pushed for PERS reforms that would increase school funding while fixing Oregon's broken public employee retirement system. Olsen voted for a $7 billion K-12 budget built upon common-sense reforms to PERS. As Your Senator, Alan will continue to fight for efficiency in government spending so that more dollars are available for our schools and teachers.
