Where they stand
In their own words, from their campaign website, summarised in plain English.
Economy and cost of living
Drazan says she would issue a Day One order directing agencies to find rules and fees that raise costs, freeze new regulations, and declare Oregon "Open for Business." She also says she would set up a $200 million recurring fund for site readiness and infrastructure and expand apprenticeships and career-technical education.
“Declare Oregon "Open for Business" by making economic growth, private investment and job creation top priorities across state government.”
Taxes and government spending
Drazan says she would veto new tax and fee increases, protect the Kicker, raise the standard deduction, reform the Corporate Activity Tax and the estate tax, and lower property taxes for veterans and seniors over 65. She also says she would create an Office of Government Accountability to audit spending and veto programs that fail to deliver results.
“Veto new tax and fee increases.”

Energy and climate

She also says she would require community benefit agreements for data centers and write a long-term energy plan.
Guns

Crime and policing
Drazan says she would fully fund the state police, let local jurisdictions clean up public spaces, and increase penalties for drug traffickers. She also says she would declare a state of emergency on addiction and mental health crises.
“Support law enforcement and restore public safety by fully funding state police and allowing local jurisdictions to clean up public spaces to help make Oregon's communities livable.”
Education
Drazan says she would reinstate graduation requirements, require students to read proficiently by third grade before advancing, and opt Oregon into a federal scholarship tax credit program. She also says she would let teachers remove persistently disruptive students, support school choice, and require curriculum transparency for parents.
“Restore high academic expectations by reinstating meaningful graduation requirements”
Foreign policy and defense
No stated position on their website.
Elections and ethics in government
Drazan says she would create an Office of Government Accountability, publish an annual Cost of Government Report, and strengthen the Public Records Advocate so public records requests get timely responses. She also says she would ban blanket nondisclosure agreements in data center deals.
“Strengthen government transparency by bolstering the office of the Public Records Advocate to ensure timely response to public records requests.”
