Talent turns to state for funding post-Almeda fire
“One of the things we’ve asked the legislature for is more money to create redundancy in the system, so we can provide that sense of security. Another thing we’ve asked for in Talent, is additional water storage so that even if something were to happen to the water lines in the future, we would still be able to protect our community,” said McLeod-Skinner.

Oregon Congressman Kurt Schrader likely to face another challenge from the left
“Oregon’s working families are proud. We don’t expect the government to do everything, but we’d like a little help during the tough times,” McLeod-Skinner said. “That’s why investments in affordable housing and health care childcare, paid family leave and debt-free community college are important because that’s how we help empower families to rebuild their communities.” OPB: October 28, 2021

Let’s Choose Jamie
Like many others, I was interested to see where Deschutes County would land in the re-districting process. Now that that’s over, I am very excited that voters here will have the opportunity to choose a great candidate to represent us in new Congressional District 5. Jamie McLeod-Skinner is well known to us; she won Deschutes County when she ran against Greg Walden in 2018. We know her to be the candidate who has never taken corporate PAC money, including fossil fuel and Big Pharma contributions. This means that the voices she listens to will be ours, not corporate donors. In…

Protecting Our Democracy
Protecting our democracy. From voting rights to enacting meaningful campaign finance reform to redistricting, we must tackle these issues that undermine public trust. We must engage voters from across divides so voices can be heard and participate. I have been engaged in that work for several years and will continue my work supporting diverse and progressive community leaders.
Supporting Working Families
Supporting working families, including healthcare, housing, and debt-free community college. Our social safety net has been systematically eroded over the past few decades, making it even more difficult to rebound from the COVID-economy. People are struggling with the health pandemic and an ongoing inequity pandemic. We need a responsive government that focuses on providing critical physical AND social infrastructure. We need to invest in affordable housing, healthcare, homecare, childcare, special and early childhood education, debt-free community college and trade programs, and a person’s right to choose. As a wealthy nation, our fundamental decency is rightfully questioned when we leave this…
