Campaign website

Reynolds’ campaign website stated the following:

“	HEALTHCARE: Healthcare is a human right. I firmly believe in Medicare for All and know it should be open anyone who chooses to enroll into it. Medicare should exist as a baseline of care that can be supplemented with private insurance for those that may prefer it. Medicare is high quality care for everyone, it has a long history of effectively treating our seniors, and could be scaled to do the same for all Americans. We don’t have a choice at this point. We have to have health care, and I believe that one of the ways that we can actually start addressing these burdens on the families of Oregonians is through policy decisions. The easiest example is allowing for Medicare to negotiate for better rates for medications and treatments by leveraging the size of the Medicare system’s purchasing power. VETERANS HEALTH CARE: I believe our veterans deserve the highest quality of care, which includes access to cutting-edge treatments like stem cells, if they so choose. AFFORDABLE HOUSING: I have been a long-time advocate for affordable housing in Oregon. I know how difficult it can be to find an affordable place to live, and that’s why I want to increase the availability of mixed income development as a means of providing more options to people of all economic backgrounds. The benefits of mixed income developments: It strengthens neighborhoods and allows people to live near job centers and transportation options. Mixed-income housing also gives people access to better schools and more amenities, and helps develop a market for goods and services in surrounding businesses. We can incentivize developers to build mixed income developments through a variety of different strategies: We can use direct grants. We can use tax abatement. We can use specialized zoning. We can fast track permitting. JOBS: When I’m elected to Congress, my plan is to focus on real job training in skills that are needed by the Oregon business community. I believe that every Oregonian deserves the opportunity to develop the skills they want, to earn the money they need to provide for themselves and their families. CLIMATE CHANGE: I believe that in order to slow climate change, it’s necessary to act boldly. We need to prioritize the transition from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. In order for this shift to be successful, we must incentivize businesses and individuals to invest in their buildings and homes. I believe that we need to take pragmatic and bold steps towards slowing climate change by focusing our efforts on the development of clean energy technologies like solar, wind, hydroelectric, and advanced batteries to power the homes and economy of the future. REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS: I believe that everyone has the right to choose the timing and circumstances of their pregnancy. This right is under threat, and I will support any federal action to ensure that everyone has the right to make their own reproductive decisions. Everyone should have access to high-quality healthcare, and that includes coverage for reproductive health.	”

2016

The following issues were listed on Reynolds' campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“	Political Reform: I believe that corporations, unions, lobbyists, and wealthy individuals have an undue influence on our Republic. Education: The Federal Government is failing in its implementation of Common Core Standards. As a minimum standard for what our children should know Common Core does a great job; with regards to implementation and policy it is a colossal failure. Constitutional Rights: The Bill of Rights is slowly being eroded. We need to take a clear stand in defense of our enumerated rights, reclaim them, and roll back any legislation that has infringed upon them. Economy: It is the proper role of government to provide world class energy, transportation, information, and utility infrastructure so that our businesses can thrive. Energy: We need to prioritize investment in clean and renewable energy production while pursuing promising research. Carbon based fuels are not going anywhere anytime soon, but that does not mean we need to further subsidize their extraction and consumption.	”
