Canning knows that here in Oregon, we have an outsize role to play in building the climate solutions that will create good paying union jobs and cool our planet, and that leadership in Congress is essential to our success.
Health care is a human right. It’s time to pass Medicare for All.
In Congress, Canning will join the Medicare for All Caucus with Chair Jayapal, and lead the fight for a universal, single payer system to ensure that everyone – no matter where we live, who we love, what our race or income – can see a doctor, get the medicines we need, and live a healthy life without the burdens of high deductibles, co-pays, co-insurance, or cash premiums.
Oregonians overwhelmingly support a Medicare for All single payer system, across partisan lines and across our district and this is what Canning will fight for in Washington.
Parental Leave, Early Learning, Great Schools, Quality Jobs and Care We Can Count On
Just like Senator Warren, if Canning hadn’t gotten lucky with toddler childcare, she wouldn’t have started law school and she wouldn’t be running for Congress today. She knows how hard it is to make childcare work in this country, and believes preschool shouldn’t be a luxury only for the rich. That’s why Canning supports Senator Warren’s plan for universal childcare.
Families need time to care, caregivers deserve respect on the job, our kids need quality early learning options, and great schools with educators who have the support they need to thrive.
Everyone deserves a safe, stable place to live. Canning has been in the fight, and she’ll stay in the fight, as our voice for housing solutions in Congress.
Our district is facing a housing crisis. Shamefully, Oregon leads the nation in the rate of homeless children.
