Good-paying jobs are created by designing and installing energy efficient insulation, lighting, building materials, appliances, vehicles, heating and cooling systems, effective transit systems and countless other technologies in homes, schools and businesses.
John Kitzhaber I am honored to receive the support of the Oregon AFL-CIO. They represent more than 225,000 Oregonians and provide a strong voice for Oregon’s middle class. I look forward to working with their member unions to create and retain quality Oregon jobs.

Ben Westlund -- our State Treasurer -- passed away early Sunday morning after a long battle with cancer.

John Kitzhaber I helped launch the Oregon Business Plan in 2002 during the last recession. Before that, Oregon had no comprehensive plan to create jobs and grow its economy. Click to read my Strategy for Oregon's Economic Prosperity and let me know what you think.

The Oregon Business Plan offers an excellent roadmap for creating a robust and stable economy in Oregon. We know what needs to be done. Now Oregon needs strong leadership from the Governor to actually implement this strategy.
John Kitzhaber Here is an important story from today that highlights the failure of the punitive No Child Left Behind approach to change in schools. Using standardized testing to form judgments or evaluations of the effectiveness of schools or teachers is wrong-headed and counter-productive. I have been very clear that teacher perfor...mance cannot be captured by a student's score on a standardized test.

John Kitzhaber Programs for meeting the developmental needs of children from the time they are born until they enter Kindergarten are absolutely essential for future academic success.

From Anonymous: "reduce income taxes. We will have the highest in the USA. This will kill jobs long term. Oregon business cannot recruit into this climate. Texas has the most fortune 500 firms in the nation, with no state income tax. oregon has 1!"

the campaign: Yesterday the Oregonian reported on the latest survey on
the governor's race which finds Kitzhaber leads either of the
Republicans, 45 percent to 33 percent.

The latest survey is from Portland pollster Bob Moore, who often works for Republicans. He matched up former Gov. John Kitzhaber - who Moore judges to be the strongest of the Democratcs - against two Republican contenders, ex-Trail Blazer Chris Dudley and businessman Allen Alley.
