Oregon's legislative leaders will kick off their 2025 session with a shared focus on improving affordability for Oregonians and making sure the government is held accountable for delivering quality services, they said during a preview Thursday.

Oregon's legislative session is set to commence next week, with lawmakers focusing on several key priorities. Governor Tina Kotek has emphasized housing, homelessness, mental health, addiction, and education as critical areas needing attention. Senate President Rob Wagner and House Speaker Dan Rayfield have echoed these concerns, highlighting the need for bipartisan cooperation to address the state's housing crisis, improve behavioral health services, and enhance education funding. Additionally, there is a push towards addressing climate change, with initiatives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable practices. The session also anticipates discussions on public safety, with potential reforms in criminal justice and police accountability. With a significant budget surplus, legislators are also considering how to allocate funds effectively to meet these diverse needs while ensuring economic stability and growth.
