Cristian demonstrates the kind of leadership we need representing southern Oregon and protecting our communities."

"I support Cristian for his interest in helping and working in promoting healthcare access for all Oregonians. His energy and age will promote involvement of our younger voters who needs he understands."

"Cristian is a breath of fresh air in this race. In my experience working with him, he has shown integrity, competency, caring, and collaboration. He has shown genuine interest in the issues facing our community, and I have confidence he would represent us well in Salem."

"In a time of noise, Cristian is a listener. He has a unique gift for turning different perspectives into a common purpose."

“Cristian is an authentic leader who prioritizes working families, health equity, and justice. This combination of deep community connection and frontline healthcare experience is what Oregon needs right now.”

"As a fellow nurse, I know that Cristian understands that healthy communities are thriving communities. He's spent much of his life fighting for workers, defending human rights, and caring for those who need care the most. When elected, he will be the ONLY nurse in the senate. With millions in federal healthcare cuts coming, we need his voice in Salem!”
 

"Cristian's experience as a nurse, union member, and educator gives him exactly the perspective we need in Salem. I know he will work to bring costs down for working families and fight for every Oregonian to have quality, affordable healthcare."

"Cristian is exactly the kind of leader that working families need right now: a labor champion from a working-class neighborhood. He’s fought for workers’ rights and stood up to corporate greed his whole career, and he’ll do the same for us in Salem.”

"Cristian brings the kind of leadership our communities need—leadership rooted in service, experience, and a clear commitment to working people and public education. He understands that strong communities start with strong schools, and he is ready to fight for sustainable funding that ensures students, educators, and families have the support they need to succeed, from early learning through higher education. I am confident that Cristian Mendoza Ruvalcaba will be a thoughtful, effective advocate for Southern Oregon."

“Cristian's professional background and personal experience make him uniquely qualified to address the issues Oregonians are currently facing. As a former legislator and nurse practitioner, I understand the importance of having representation from frontline healthcare workers in Salem where decisions are made. With healthcare access under attack, we need Cristian's working-class perspective in Salem, where he will advocate for affordable, safe, and healthy communities."

"I’m proud to endorse Cristian because he has lived the realities of social injustice and turned that experience into fierce advocacy for our community. He brings grounded leadership the state legislature urgently needs and a relentless commitment to meaningful change.”
