As Oregon State Treasurer, I will help Oregonians invest in their children and their communities. I will promote the state program that gives families a tax-free way to save for college and also will propose programs in the treasury to encourage financial literacy and homeownership, which are keys to healthy and stable communities.  
 

  Help families save for college by expanding Oregon's 529 College Savings Network.
     
  Teach financial literacy to protect consumers and help Oregonians make sound decisions and invest in themselves.  Expand educational programs offered by the State Treasurer by partnering with non-profit organizations and businesses including information on home buying, credit reports, credit cards, payday loans and sub-prime loans.
     
  Enable low- and moderate-income families to save for home purchase down payment, rental security deposits and other asset-building goals by enhancing the Individual Development Account program.
     
  Make it easier for Oregonians recover their property. Restructure and market the Unclaimed Properties Division website to make it user friendly and easier to return unclaimed property to rightful owners and heirs and declare one month a year as “Stake Your Claim” month to increase awareness.
     
  Help make health care affordable with the Oregon Health Fund. Passed by the 2007 Legislature as part of the Healthy Oregon Act, the fund will allow people to pool health care dollars to leverage buying power.
