Hear from Hillsboro Mayor Beach Pace about the progressive benefits of The Oregon Jobs Act SB1586 and how you can help us let your reps know ASAP that we want this bill to make it to the floor.

Subject: Please Support SB 1586 – Strengthening Oregon’s Economic Future

Dear [Representative/Senator _______],

I am writing to urge you to support Senate Bill 1586.

Oregon is at an economic crossroads. Our region is experiencing economic contraction, declining exports, and job losses. At the same time, we are asking our state to address housing affordability, mental health services, addiction recovery, and education funding. These priorities require a strong and growing tax base.

Economic contraction weakens our ability to solve these challenges. We cannot fund solutions without sustainable job growth and long-term investment.

SB 1586 represents a strategic effort to attract high-wage advanced manufacturing jobs, strengthen Oregon’s competitiveness, and create the kind of economic stability that allows our state to invest in the services Oregonians depend on.

Being progressive and being pro-business are not opposites. A strong private sector is what funds our public priorities.

I respectfully ask that you support SB 1586 and help ensure Oregon remains competitive, resilient, and capable of funding the values we all care about.

Thank you for your leadership and service to our state.

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[City]
