What We Stand For
The Oregon Way is guided by timeless principles. They are the commitments that shape the leaders and communities we support.
Family as the Foundation
Strong families are the roots of a thriving Oregon. They are where values are taught, dreams are nurtured, and the next generation is prepared for the future. The Oregon Way stands for strengthening families, because when families thrive, communities thrive.
Safety and Justice
Every parent deserves peace of mind and every child deserves safe streets. Public safety is not a privilege — it’s a responsibility. We support leaders who protect neighborhoods, uphold order, and ensure Salem and surrounding communities remain safe places to live, work, and raise children.
Education and Aspiration
Schools should open doors, not close them. Every child — regardless of background or zip code — deserves the chance to succeed. The Oregon Way backs leaders who fight for schools that prepare the next generation to rise higher and lead stronger.
Work and Opportunity
Hard work should lead to dignity and real opportunity. Taxpayers deserve respect, small businesses deserve room to grow, and the economy should reward effort instead of punishing it. The Oregon Way supports leaders who are committed to fiscal responsibility, entrepreneurship, and creating opportunity for every Oregonian.
Unity and Hope
Division weakens us; unity strengthens us. Oregon is at its best when people of every background come together around commonsense solutions. The Oregon Way believes in leaders who choose fairness over partisanship, action over rhetoric, and hope over fear.
Our Commitment
These are the pillars of a renewed Oregon. The Oregon Way is committed to turning these values into action by supporting commonsense leaders in the close races that shape Oregon’s future, starting in Salem and surrounding districts. Together, we can restore trust, renew leadership, and build an Oregon where every family can thrive for generations.
