On her own campaign platform page, Carpenter supports a statewide universal health plan, stronger tenant protections and fully funded schools. She says she would advocate for a single-payer healthcare system available to all Oregonians.
Her housing platform calls for a renters’ bill of rights, protections during evictions and longer notice before rent increases. She also supports investment in public transit and renewable energy and calls for a pause on further data-center expansion.
