Meet Jackie Dingfelder (Candidate for Senate District 23 endorsed by OLCV)
I have had the privilege of serving four terms as State Representative from NE Portland. During that time, I maintained a 100% voting record on OLCV's scorecard and was, in fact, recently honored as the environmental champion of the year for the 2007 session. I believe this experience, as well as my background as an environmental planner, will be of great value to me as I look to my next challenge in the Oregon Senate.
As State Senator, I will help protect Oregon's environment by:
- Making the promise of sustainability a reality that protects our environment and builds our economy.
- Advocating for policies that will help Oregon meet our goals of reducing greenhouse gas emission levels.
- Passing legislation to establish a carbon cap-and-trade system for Oregon that can serve as a model for the nation.
- Returning the Willamette River to a healthy, functioning waterway that demonstrates Oregonians' commitment to preserving our great natural treasures
I believe we can accomplish these goals and that we can do it in a way that replaces the politics of division and partisanship with common sense and respect. That was the Oregon way at a time when we accomplished great things. Now it's time for a comeback.
Jackie Dingfelder
