2022 OR Governor's race: on Tax Reform


Bud Pierce: Reduce taxes and regulations on small businesses

[On priorities]: "Oregonians currently suffer under the oppressive leadership and poor performance of our current governor," Pierce said in a statement. Pierce outlined several points he would focus on as governor, including solving the homelessness crisis; reforming K-12 education; reducing taxes and regulations on small businesses; and lowering health care costs by shrinking the "health care bureaucracy."

Christine Drazan: I will veto new taxes & repeal costly regulations

Inflation is a tax on working families. It is compounded by a regulatory and tax environment that has led to additional price increases for many of the goods and services Oregonians rely on. As governor, I will lead by vetoing new taxes, repealing costly regulations, and by supporting policies that allow Oregonians to keep more of their money in their own pockets.

Betsy Johnson: Reduce some taxes, say no to new taxes

I will work to reduce some taxes and tap the breaks [sic] on runaway state spending. I will say no to new taxes, and I will lead to reduce and reform the CAT tax and the estate/death tax. I will dedicate more to the state's rainy-day fund, so we can ride out inevitable fluctuations in the economy without drastic services cuts or tax increases, and, where appropriate, I will exercise my line-item budget veto authority to stop inappropriate spending by the legislature.
