Kitzhaber 2010's photostream

I am running for governor because we need to fundamentally change how we engage with one another to solve our shared problems. I bring to this a set of experiences, perspectives and ideas that can help during this time of crisis: when so many of our people are unemployed; when escalating health care and energy costs are burdening families and businesses alike; and when it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Every state in the nation is facing similar challenges, but more than any other state Oregon has the capacity to move beyond them – but not by continuing to do what we have been doing in the past.
