Editor's note: Oregon Abigail Adams Voter Education Project equips voters with information on how candidates stand on issues through a questionnaire process featured in comparison guides.

Candidate for House District 30 Darrell Gulstrom is challenging incumbent Janeen Sollman, her 3rd run to represent portions of Washington County.

Three major issues to Oregon voters are the economy, safety and education. Sollman voted to increase taxes and fees including cap and trade, corporate gross receipts tax, and reduce the kicker. She helped sponsor a prohibition on hydraulic fracturing for oil and gas exploration and production. Gulstrom indicates he would vote no on these issues and says he “believes in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.”

Sollman helped sponsor the bill that nullified Measure 88 passed by voters allowing undocumented driver’s license and she helped sponsor a bill that requires no proof of citizenship to obtain a driver’s license. Voted to require employers to notify employees of ICE investigations, and prevent courts from asking immigration status and notifying ICE. Gulstrom served in the US Air Force until 1982. He would vote no and support voters. He also supports the work of ICE.

In the area of education, Sollman voted to include in all curriculum’s contributions from every minority group such as immigrants, LGBTQ, disabled and women. She voted against mandated vaccination with no exceptions and ban those from schools that don’t comply. Gulstrom also would vote against forced vaccinations and would vote against curriculum mandates to include minority group contributions. He served on the Hillsboro school board as an activist for conservative causes.
