We know that a strong, healthy economy is the result of creative entrepreneurs, a fair, safe, work environment, and a skilled workforce. Representative Schouten has consistently supported innovative solutions to the challenges of a 21st-century economy and measures that ensure a fair, equitable workplace.

Sheri was proud to have worked to pass Oregon's new paid family leave law--considered the most progressive law of its kind in the country. She also pushed for a new law to guarantee that all employees receive equal pay for equal work and to pass legislation that protects workers from wage theft. Representative Schouten also pushed for a new law that empowers state-run small business development centers to use grant funding to support small businesses with outreach and marketing.
