Welcome to the website for the Oregon House Republicans and Promote Oregon Leadership PAC- our caucus’ campaign organization.

What a difference two years make. During a deep economic recession, the 2009 House Democratic supermajority passed $1.6 billion in new taxes and fees to fuel unsustainable government spending. Meanwhile, they stifled businesses and employers with new bureaucracy and red tape when Oregon was losing thousands of jobs.

Two years later, Oregonians voted to send 30 House Republicans to Salem. With a historic 30-30 tie in the Oregon House, we helped curb government spending and passed a balanced state budget without raising your taxes. We set aside significant reserves to protect education and public safety during uncertain economic times. We passed several measures to promote private-sector job growth, while stopping additional job-killing taxes and mandates that would have harmed our economic recovery.

As House Republicans, our top priority is to improve the state’s economy. To create more family wage jobs, Oregon needs a stronger private sector and a healthier business climate. That’s why we’ll continue to offer solutions to address unemployment. In upcoming sessions, we’ll propose offering new incentives to businesses that hire Oregonians and invest in our state. We’ll propose providing tax relief to Oregon families, and reducing regulations to help businesses grow and create new jobs.

House Republicans believe government should live within its means. We support prioritizing spending to protect essential services while eliminating wasteful spending and making state agencies more efficient and effective.
