When I became governor, I vowed to restore the public's trust.

My first goal as governor is to restore public trust in state government by changing the culture of state government.

Public health and safety are my highest priorities.

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

It's a matter of who do you trust, ... I trust the governor.

The chaos and confusion during the waning days of the Kitzhaber administration, as well as the ensuing federal investigations into allegations of misconduct, caused Oregonians to question their faith in their governor and state government.
