​

Thank you for visiting my website. I'm Anna Munson, and I'm running to be your Representative in the Oregon Legislature, House District 19.

I have been a Salem resident for over 45 yrs.  I live on a fixed income with my husband, a disabled veteran; in the home we’ve lived in for over 40 years. The rising cost of living in Oregon is making living here too great, forcing myself and others to have to make decisions to cut back on things we need, just to pay taxes and government fee's which are driving up cost of living on all fronts.

 

We all have family or know someone  who has lost the hope of being able to afford to buy a home and  a car because state and local taxes take   so much our earnings. 

Even as 94% of Oregonians weighed in saying NO to a new tax. I watched from within the Capitol as the governor and many legislators would not even consider other solutions. We know where the money comes from and it's from you and me, the tax payers.We watched as the governor and the super-majority legislature passed the second largest increase of taxes and fees for all taxpayers. This bad decision works against us all!

 

We need a course correction. Leadership that listens, respects taxpayers, and that puts freedom and affordability front and center. It is truly lacking in Oregon, so this is why I'm running.

I spent the last year working in the Capitol and understanding how it functions.

In the Legislature, my aim is to bring:

​

• 🛠 Policies and solutions – “out of the box” thinking that support working families, small businesses, and retirees.

• 💸 Decrease the size of state government and demanding accountability. We spend too much on a bloated system.

• 🏠 Solutions for the public safety, homeless, and drug/fentanyl crisis     

• 🗳 A balanced, transparent government that reflects the voice of the taxpayer

 

This campaign is about restoring common sense and protecting the Oregon we love. I’m ready to listen and work with anyone who is committed    to solutions that improve the livability, affordability and accountability of state government without increasing our taxes. Join me!
