STATEMENT

I am honored to have the endorsement of Sen. Doug Whitsett, and will continue his legacy, fighting for individual liberty, free markets, fiscal conservatism and limited government.

Life & Liberty

I believe in constitution­ally limited government, freedom to assemble and personal inde­pendence. I will give voice to these principles in Oregon’s legislature.   Oregon is a land of fearless innovators, hopeful pioneers and hard-working dreamers. I will be a voice for each one of you in Oregon’s legislature, ensuring that our liberties are maintained and we all have freedom to pursue life, liberty and happiness in our great state.

Property

Endless federal over-reach in land, water, timber and mineral resource management is hampering our economy. Natural events, compounded by federal mismanagement and ceaseless litigation, have destroyed giant swaths of our public and private lands. The results are public access road closures, scarred watersheds, lost wilderness habitat and job opportunities. Local control by the men and women who live, work and play in Oregon’s resource-rich environment can bring resilience back into our communities and economies.

Government

Oregon’s progressive legislature is renowned for its pork barrel spending, hastily passed ‘emergency’ legislation, partisan totalitarianism, and a penchant for stripping citizens of their right to self-defense. The public is rightfully dissatisfied by Salem because of their deafness to rural Oregon’s needs and spend-thrift cronyism.

Action

I humbly ask for your support, as I express the values, work-ethic and compassion that Oregon’s Senate needs.

I will be your voice against bloated bureaucracies. As your state senator, I will stand up for Oregon’s natural opportunities. We are blessed with bountiful timber, water, farmland, ranch land, technology, recreation and mineral resources – plus the people who make our state a wonderful place to live and work. I will fight for your right to pursue these opportunities and make our communities more prosperous in the process.
