As Your Voice in Salem, Chris will continue to take the same innovative approach to provide real solutions.

Chris is known for tackling tough issues and utilizes strong, collaborative leadership to continue moving forward toward preserving the Oregon we know and love.
CREATING JOBS AND REDUCING THE REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT
Chris Telfer has worked diligently and will continue to be a strong voice in addressing the government's regulatory environment that continues to stifle job grown in Oregon. She currently sits on the Governor's Task Force dedicated to provide immediate and long-term solutions.
INCREASING GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY
Throughout her time as a State Senator, City Council, and School District Budget Chair, Chris has fought for more detailed accounting of public resources to hold government responsible and reduce over-spending and excessive control by State Agencies.
DEFINING GOVERNMENT'S ROLE
The government can't be everything to everyone. If there is a private business or company that can provide a product or service more effectively, it's far more cost efficient than for government to take on. Chris will continue to work in identifying areas of opportunity and growth for Oregon's private business sector and restricting the government's role.
REDUCING STATE SPENDING
Oregon's current economic environment leaves no room for wasteful and unnecessary spending. Chris Telfer advocates that the State tighten it's belt and live within it's means, just as the citizens and businesses of Oregon have learned to do.
