John Kitzhaber was a visionary leader for Oregon.

I have spent my career fighting to make Oregon a place where everyone can thrive.

He was a great visionary leader ... and a great spiritual leader.

Most public officials work hard to serve the public good and abide by Oregon's ethics laws.

Good leaders have vision and inspire others to help them turn vision into reality. Great leaders have vision, share vision, and inspire others to create their own.

Cities around the United States do not have land use planning like we have in Oregon, and they are all struggling with issues like affordable housing.
