KURT SCHRADER FOR CONGRESS
Character and the Right Experience
Kurt Schrader is a husband and father, a veterinarian, a farmer, and a small-business owner. He built a business, met a payroll, and provided health care benefits for his employees. Kurt has the character we expect, and as a legislator earned a reputation for straight talk, fiscal responsibility and getting things done across party lines.
"I support Kurt Schrader because I trust Kurt Schrader." -Senator Frank Morse, Republican
Fighting for our middle class
Kurt understands the everyday pressures faced by Oregon families as prices for gas, food, college tuition, and health care are skyrocketing. In Congress he will focus on what makes the greatest difference in the lives of middle class families and those struggling to get ahead:
- Focus on our economy and bringing jobs to Oregon. See Kurt's detailed Economic Action Plan at www.kurtschrader.com/theplan
- Fight high gas prices by cracking down on speculators and pass "use it or lose it" legislation for drilling
- Create a clean energy future with renewable energy that creates jobs and reduces our dependence on foreign oil
- Deliver affordable cost-containing health care that covers all Americans
- Bring the troops home from Iraq with honor and reinvest that money in our economy and infrastructure
- Push for a tougher federal attack on methamphetamine, just like he did in Oregon
- Support our veterans
Kurt is supported by:
Oregon Nurses Association
Oregon Farm Bureau
Oregon AFL-CIO
Oregon Forest Industries Council
Oregon League of Conservation Voters
