Oregonians continually demonstrate a strong belief in fairness and equal treatment under the law.

I know what it feels like to be a victim of domestic violence.

I know what it feels like to represent clients who can't get restraining orders on abusive partners.

I grew up in a middle-class family. I went to law school.

I know what it feels like to be paid less - substantially less - than the male lawyer in the office next to me.

I seek solutions, not battles.

I think the bottom line for Oregonians is that cleaner fuels mean cleaner air, and we need that, and we want that.

The record shows that I've kept a very steady hand on the helm throughout some enormous challenges.

John Kitzhaber was a visionary leader for Oregon.

The challenge is sort of capturing the issues that Oregonians feel strongly about and moving forward on those.
