5 | Ballot Measures
- Measure 97: Yes! We are a proud supporter of Measure 97 because we know that critical services for families are underfunded. We need to invest heavily in more high-quality child care, summer care, after-care and early education programs to ensure all families can afford and access the care they need to thrive. The state needs to make larger investments in making home care and other senior care services more affordable for more families, and we need to invest more state dollars to make sure more Oregonians can access health care.
