I know how hard it is to find housing. People should be able to live in the communities where they were raised, teach, and work. Thank you, Rogue Valley Habitat for Humanity, for helping working families buy homes. But we need to do more, and I intend to do that in Salem.

Talent Harvest Festival shows what makes this community special: families, local nonprofits, artisans, volunteers, small businesses, and neighbors all in one place. Thank you to everyone who organized, performed, volunteered, and showed up. Talent gets better every year.

I attended the Oregon Nurses Association town hall in Medford, where a 200 person room overflowed. Nurses and families raised serious concerns about Asante closures, staffing, labor relations, and access to care. Asante matters to Southern Oregon. Its board should listen.

Some of Southern Oregon’s wildest country is at stake. The Trump administration wants the Forest Service to repeal the 2001 Roadless Rule. Public comments close Oct. 6. Tell the Forest Service what these lands mean to you. www.regulations.gov/document/FS-...

People shouldn’t have to fight the system while they’re fighting for their lives. That’s why as your state Senator I will work hard to prevent insurance companies from raising rates and prevent private equity buy-outs that push people out of care.

PERS is not a retirement gift. It is earned compensation for Oregon’s teachers, firefighters, nurses, and other public workers. Since 1970, investment income has provided 72.6% of pension revenue. Workers kept their bargain. Oregon should keep its part.
Campaign graphic about Oregon PERS. Large text reads “PERS IS EARNED COMPENSATION” with the subtitle “Public employees earn it over a career.” Three sections highlight that nearly 73% of PERS revenue since 1970 has come from investment earnings, nearly $4.9 billion was paid to Oregon retirees in 2024, and those payments support billions in economic activity and tens of thousands of jobs. A lower banner reads “RESPONSIBLE REFORM” and “Keep the system financially sound. Don’t rewrite the deal after workers have earned it.” At right is a photo of a woman standing outdoors above a Denise Krause State Senate campaign logo.

I have never run for the State Senate before. I do not take anyone’s vote for granted. I know I have to earn it. I am knocking on doors, listening to voters, attending local events, meeting with local groups, and answering questions openly. This election is too important to take support for granted.

On the International Day of Peace, we remember the cost of war: at least 18 U.S. service members killed, more than 750 wounded, and thousands killed abroad. Southern Oregon families also face higher fuel and goods prices. Diplomacy offers a path forward.

I support SEIU 503 classified workers and their lawful collective bargaining rights. SOU's financial crisis is real, but workers should not carry it alone. Both sides meet Sept. 24. I hope they reach a fair, sustainable agreement before the Sept. 28 strike date.

Brad Hicks’ positions on public lands and abortion deserve scrutiny. Voters should look closely at his record, his campaign finances, and where he stands on the issues before deciding who should represent Southern Oregon in Senate District 3.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Basic Rights Oregon. When my insurance denied my breast cancer treatment, I fought back and won. No one should have to fight that hard for care. LGBTQ+ Oregonians face this same discrimination in healthcare, housing, and work—and I'll fight until everyone is protected.
