PLATFORM FOR OREGON’S FINANCIAL FUTURE:

More details: www.jeffgudman.com/platform

 

Supporting Middle Class Families

• Replace the Legislature’s unfair tolling scheme with a more equitable plan.

• Defend prevailing-wage standards for public projects.

• Reinvest kicker funds in jobs and infrastructure.

• End tax giveaways that benefit land speculators and limit housing.

Jeff is the only candidate who hasn’t voted to cut public employee pensions.

 

Protecting Oregon’s Climate Legacy

• Form a broad coalition of institutional investors and use combined corporate governance votes to develop and champion post-carbon business plans.

• Better disclosure around climate-related risks on bond issuances and investments.

• Create real transparency around our public investment decisions.

Jeff is the only candidate for Treasurer to pledge not to accept fossil fuel money.

 

Strengthening Schools

• Stretch school bonds further through administrative efficiencies, so that more money goes to classroom improvements, instead of interest payments.

• Implement criteria for the State’s XI-P matching funds for school districts so smaller communities aren’t left behind.

The Legislature’s so-called “record” K-12 funding in 2023 was actually a cut after accounting for student growth and inflation!  Oregon’s Treasurer should be up-front and direct about our K-12 finances.
