By Oregon Campaign Watch,

Here is her great quote: “You can’t build more housing without power. You can’t grow manufacturing without power. And you can’t lower costs if families keep paying more for their electricity.Oregon doesn’t need more one-size-fits-all energy mandates”

From Christine Drazan’s Facebook post: “You can’t build more housing without power. You can’t grow manufacturing without power. And you can’t lower costs if families keep paying more for their electricity.Oregon doesn’t need more one-size-fits-all energy mandates. We need an energy strategy that answers where our power will come from, what it will cost and whether it will be there when we need it. Thank you to the Oregon Rural Electric Cooperative Association for the opportunity to discuss this and more in Hood River. It was also an honor to meet Jacqueline Wiles, an Oregon native, four-time Olympian and 2026 Olympic bronze medalist. Congratulations on an incredible career, and thank you for sharing your story.”
