Top Issues in Oregon

Transportation

Transportation drives prosperity. Oregon needs a system that moves people and goods quickly and safely through our state. Cascade looks at market-based mechanisms for providing these services.

Right to Work

No Oregonian should be compelled to join a union or pay union dues to hold a job. Cascade works to grant true employee freedom to every worker in the state.

Health Care

Oregonians deserve quality health care. Cascade has been a leader in predicting the failure of the Oregon Health Plan and in promoting consumer-driven health care.

Education

Whether or not Oregon kids have access to a quality education shouldn’t be determined by their street address. Cascade advocates for school choice for all Oregon parents so they can find the right fit for their child to succeed.

Land Use

Oregonians face one of the nation’s most restrictive, state-wide regulatory systems. Cascade promotes reforms that will allow real estate markets to function properly.

Economic Opportunity

Tax & Budget

Cascade analyzes Oregon state and local tax and budget policies with an eye toward enhancing individual liberty, personal responsibility, and economic opportunity.
