Leader Drazan Statement on Gov. Kotek Budget Proposal
By Oregon State Republican House Leader Christine Drazan,

SALEM, Ore. – In response to Governor Tina Kotek’s 2025 budget proposal, House Republican Leader Christine Drazan (R-Canby) offered the following statement:

“Budgets express priorities and it is clear Governor Kotek’s priority is to protect the status quo. This budget has no new ideas and no new vision. What was put forward today is more of the same from Governor Kotek. The Governor proposed a budget that is unsustainable without implementing substantial new taxes, that Oregonians cannot afford and do not support.

“Whether it’s schools, addiction, roads or public safety, under Governor Kotek’s leadership, this budget means Oregonians can expect to pay more, but get less.”
