Issue Position: Restarting Our Economy & Sustaining Growth

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Unemployed and Low-Income Business and Consumers Economy and Fiscal Business, Consumers, and Employees

The COVID-19 pandemic has decimated many portions of our nation's economy. Locally, nearly a half-million Oregonians have filed for unemployment. As our economy begins to re-open we must ensure small businesses and our major employers have tools -- including clear safety parameters -- that allow them to add back lost jobs.

While the federal stimulus package and interest-free loans are critical, we must also look for opportunities to leverage the creativity of our private sector. From medical research and health care to innovations in manufacturing and e-commerce, Christine will work to bring down barriers to new opportunities to deliver services and reduce red tape that impede progress.
