The senator’s response to the IWC’s survey came from Ruth Steinmetz, campaign director of the Senate Democratic Leadership Fund.

"Thank you so much for your injured workers' survey. Since Senator Brown is not up for re-election this cycle she will not be responding to any surveys this election cycle. She has read your survey and stated that she will work next session to ensure a fairer workers' compensation system for injured workers. As you know she is committed to working families of Oregon and looks forward to your survey next election cycle. If you have further questions please do not hesitate to call me. Thank you."
