Tina’s new proposal

We need to build more housing — but while we do that, we also need to ensure that people have a place to go to get the help they need to get back on their feet.   John, addressing Oregon’s homelessness crisis has been one of Tina’s top priorities. Since day one, she’s been laser-fo…

What $1 can do:

When we come together, small contributions can add up to something big.   John, $1. That’s all we’re asking for today. You might be wondering — can pitching in just $1 really make a difference? The answer is yes. When thousands of grassroots supporters come together, small contribu…
