Hello Folks,

As the Mayor of Milwaukie Oregon I have fought to deliver the most ambitious climate plan of any municipality in the state, affordable housing units, and a flourishing environment for families. I decided to run for Congress because I got tired of asking my representative for help taking on climate change, healthcare, housing and a whole host of urgent problems all the while getting nothing back. I am running because we need a leader who will stand up to Trump, not a follower that votes with him on key issues. I am running because we deserve a leader who will push back against corporate influence, not a corporate sellout readily accepting money from insurance agencies, the pharmaceutical industry, and big oil. I ask that you join with us in building a better future for all.

 

OUR KEY ISSUES

Climate & Environment

Climate change is not only the defining issue of our time, it is the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. If we fail to address it aggressively, immediately and sufficiently our civilization will fail within the lifetimes of our children and grandchildren. However, with every great challenge comes great opportunity. We stand at a moment in time where we can remake our society, while saving our civilization and planet in the process. We need a GREEN NEW DEAL. Read More

 

universal healthcare

Healthcare is a human right. We must join the rest of the developed world by adopting a single payer Healthcare system that is both affordable and of the highest quality. We will fight for Universal Healthcare AND to get Healthcare spending under control, provide Long Term Care, and Lower Prescription Drug Costs. This will not only lower overall costs both for individuals and the government but also improve health outcomes across the board. Read More

affordable housing

We are facing a housing crisis in America. Income simply isn’t keeping up with the costs of renting, purchasing, or owning a home. Instead of rolling back HUD funding we must expand it. We need to look to Oregon’s landmark state wide Tenant Protection legislation as a model for the nation, and ensure that everyone can afford a place to live and raise their family. Read More

income Inequality

The cost of living has increased dramatically, while the median average income has not risen to match. At the same time the very wealthy continue to amass more and more wealth. It is clear that “trickle down Reaganomics” was and continues to be, a ploy to redistribute wealth to the very rich at the expense of the working class and the poor. We need to increase taxes on the very wealthy and improve the Federal minimum wage to at least $15 per hour. Read More

 

There are so many issues in today's world. Learn more about where we stand.

 
 

As the 5-year Mayor of Milwaukie, Mark is known for bringing together diverse community members to build a vibrant, sustainable, economically sound, and profoundly livable city. We need his kind of leadership in Congress.
