Bottom line: The Oregon Legislature has historically underfunded the child care systems, leading to unaffordable care for families and a lack of support for providers facing industry-wide low wages. Proposed agency budget cuts to the Department of Early Learning and Care ERDC program would be detrimental to Oregon families who rely on these critical services. We don’t have to accept this! Lawmakers can choose to stop the bleeding and disconnect from federal tax codes that provide loopholes to corporations and the rich. Additionally lawmakers can allocate 5% of the rainy day fund to DELCInvest in child care. Invest in our economy. Invest in Oregon’s future.

DELC is facing an addtl budget cut of up to 5% in the 2026 session which would potentially impact other programs like Preschool Promise, OPK, Healthy Families, etc.

I know for me, Preschool Promise and Healthy Families were VITAL free programs for my children when I was leaving a DV relationship.

Social Security - "That's socialism!"

Debt free education - "That's socialism!"

Universal childcare - "That's socialism!"

$1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy...

"That's just how it is."

My office has produced a brief report that addresses the tax burden myths that are driving the current push to halt the Preschool for All revenue collection. Credit goes to my Senior Policy Advisor and Chief Economist Dr. Erik Dean. Bottom line: taxes are not driving people out of the county 🧵

Oregon lawmakers really said fuck then kids and cut the DELC budget by 4% despite a $73M budget deficit at CSL. No heads up, no transparent decision making.
