PRIORITIES, NOT POLITICS
That's the
principle Brad Avakian lives by -- even when he has to take a
little heat for it. When the Legislature was neglecting our
schools, Brad fought for a full funding plan to stop education
cuts. To provide rural Oregon with the water it needs, Brad
brought together conservationists and industry to get the job
done. And when big corporations weren't providing fair wages and
good working conditions, Brad stood up for us.
Good
thing that Brad is more concerned with our priorities than
politics. With the economy in trouble, we need a champion to
help us put Oregon back on track.
A PLAN TO
GET OREGON BACK ON TRACK
- Develop the nation's premier renewable energy workforce to
provide home-grown, sustainable energy to break the grip of
foreign oil.
- Support a strong minimum wage.
- Bring together emerging industries and training centers to
provide workers the skills to quickly gain long term employment.
- Make our government more efficient by streamlining the way
Oregon's training centers are funded.
- Increase apprenticeship opportunities for skilled trades like
plumbing, electrical, and construction jobs that provide high
paying careers.
- Restore agricultural and technical education in our public
schools.
- Penalize employers who knowingly hire
illegal immigrants.
