Endorsements
“As someone who grew up in a working-class family and sees the fallout of poor health care and rising housing costs on her patients, Dexter is committed to addressing such universal worries with the same work ethic that powered her efforts in Salem. Her record and priorities show voters why she’s the right pick for the district.”
“Over the years, I’ve witnessed Maxine Dexter fiercely advocate for reproductive rights, confront the opioid epidemic head-on, and address Oregon’s housing crisis with determination. Her impressive record speaks for itself. She’ll be a powerful voice for us in Congress, and I am eager to work alongside her to achieve real progress.”
“We’re proud to stand with Maxine because she has shown us that she can accomplish big bold ideas that make a difference for workers. Maxine is the only candidate we trust to fight for us in Congress, and she’s already won some big victories here in Oregon. She’s got the back of workers and we are proud to stand with her in this campaign.”
“There is nothing Dr. Dexter can’t get done when she puts her mind to it. I’ve seen firsthand how she listens, leads, and gets big things done when others have failed. Dr. Dexter is exactly who we need fighting for our state and our values in our nation’s capitol.”
“Dr. Dexter’s exceptional track record as a pragmatic problem solver for Oregon is demonstrated through her policy work for our region and State.”
