Oregon House District 19
Anna Munson: Fighting for Common Sense in Salem
She’s not a career politician, she’s a longtime Oregonian who has lived the same challenges facing families who live month-to-month or on fixed incomes today.
Fighting to lower the cost of living!
What Anna will do
Three promises, one standard
Anna is running for Oregon House District 19 because she believes government should operate with the same discipline that families do every day.
Live within our means
Families balance their budgets every month. State government can too. Anna will oppose new taxes and fees that raise the cost of living and review agency spending line by line.
Start with what we all agree on
Lower costs, safe neighborhoods, schools that work. Anna will start there and work with people across the aisle to get it done.
Be accountable for every dollar spent
Taxpayers deserve to see where their money goes and what it buys. Right now, that information is hard to find. It should be simple. Anna will push for transparency and hold agencies accountable for performance. No more guessing where the money goes.
Not a career politician
A longtime Oregonian who has lived it
A proud Salem resident for over 45 years, Anna is a mother, grandmother, and wife of a disabled veteran. She’s not a career politician, she’s a longtime Oregonian who has lived the same challenges facing families who live month-to-month or on fixed incomes today.
Last year, Anna worked inside the Oregon Capitol. What she saw convinced her that common sense has been replaced by bureaucracy, rising costs, and policies disconnected from the daily realities of Oregon families. She learned how the legislature operates and is prepared to get to work right away.
