Meet John Kitzhaber

A Legislator

A reputation for innovation

John's interest in health care policy, his deep love for Oregon's natural heritage and his concern about the lives and jobs of rural Oregonians led him to seek an additional form of public service: serving his neighbors as an elected official.

John Kitzhaber represented Douglas County in the legislature for fourteen years - and was elected by his colleagues to serve as Senate President in 1985, 1987, 1989, and 1991.

A Governor

John Kitzhaber was elected Governor of the State of Oregon in 1994 and reelected in 1998.

As Governor, he undertook many new policy initiatives including the expansion of the Oregon Health Plan which has benefited nearly two million Oregonians since it was implemented in 1994. He broke new ground with the Oregon Option, a cooperative approach with the federal government that attempted to increase accountability and reduce bureaucracy related to the delivery of a number of government services. As one result, the State of Oregon reduced welfare caseloads by more than 50 percent, helping nearly 20,000 Oregonians find work and saving more than $200 million in the state budget.

On economic issues, Kitzhaber continued to earn his reputation as a leader who looked over the horizon. He brought to the state the first major renewable energy wind turbine manufacturer and laid in place the foundation for Oregon's development and reputation as an incubator of green jobs. And John kicked off the effort to create the Oregon Business Plan, a comprehensive blueprint for economic progress for the state.
