Priority Issues:

Kate Brown is committed to continuing to move Oregon forward. In the next two years, she plans to:

*Continue to change the way Salem operates, by giving Oregonians the ability to impeach elected officials, including the governor, who breach public trust.
*Focus on increasing Oregon's high school graduation rates .
*Help Oregon's small businesses to thrive and grow by streamlining the permitting process.
*Fight for pay equity, because what you are paid shouldn't depend on your gender.

*Push to make Oregon colleges and universities affordable for Oregonians.
