Meet Dennis Linthicum

I earned my BA in Economics from UCLA and followed that with a Master’s degree from Biola University. My career has been a journey through the cutting edge of technology—software development, database management, and beyond. Whether in California or Oregon, I’ve been at the forefront of sectors as diverse as defense, semiconductor manufacturing, and life insurance. I’ve spent my life engineering solutions in a world where truth, precision, and accountability matter.

My entry into politics wasn’t planned—it was driven by a sense of duty. In 2009, I was encouraged by a friend from church to run for Klamath County Commissioner. I stepped up, challenged the status quo, and won. It was then that I saw firsthand the overreach of government, the wasteful spending, and the erosion of our freedoms. I knew I couldn’t stand by and watch our rights be trampled underfoot by a bloated bureaucracy.

As your State Senator for District 28 since 2017, I’ve fought relentlessly to expose the pitfalls of big government. I’ve been a consistent voice against the encroachment of federal and state overreach, advocating for policies that restore power to the people of Oregon. I’ve seen how government “solutions” often create more problems than they solve, and I’ve made it my mission to hold those in power accountable.

But my work isn’t done. The office of Secretary of State must be a watchdog for our democracy, not a lapdog for political elites. We face a critical moment where transparency, integrity, and truth are under siege. My commitment is to audit every corner of our government, to ensure that every penny is spent wisely, and that the rights of Oregonians are protected.

This campaign isn’t just about me—it’s about all of us who believe in the principles that made this country great. We are not mere spectators in our government; we are its foundation. Together, we can turn the tide, reclaim our freedoms, and restore accountability in Oregon.

Stand with me as we fight to preserve the values we hold dear. Together, we can set Oregon back on the path of truth, integrity, and prosperity.
