🚨 OREGONIANS, PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT’S HAPPENING IN SALEM.

This is a LONG article, but it’s one worth reading. I’m going to break down some of the biggest takeaways because I think Oregonians need to understand what’s happening within our state government and what could be coming in the 2027 legislative session.

First, there’s a significant shift happening within Oregon’s Democratic Party. The far-left progressive wing is gaining influence, and organizations like the Working Families Party are playing a major role.

Progressive Democrats roughly DOUBLED their numbers in the Legislature following last week’s election.

The Working Families Party, a left-wing political organization that has also supported New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, backed 31 Democrats who won legislative seats in Oregon. The party also supported candidates who defeated more moderate incumbents.

Oregon Rep. Mark Gamba specifically pointed to Mamdani’s leadership as an example of what progressives should be doing in Oregon, saying: “I’d look at the style of leadership (New York City Mayor Zohran) Mamdani has demonstrated: You can do very progressive things and get them done and get them done now.”

Gamba also made it clear that this growing progressive bloc intends to exercise its legislative power, saying: “We have enough members now we can pretty much stop any legislation that they’d want to put down.”

Think about what that means… We’re watching a growing faction within the Democratic Party openly challenge its more moderate members and push for a much more aggressive legislative agenda. They may not have the votes to pass everything independently, but they believe they have enough leverage to influence what moves forward.

SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE THEY PROPOSING?

A NEW WEALTH TAX: A proposed tax targeting Oregonians with a net worth of $30 million or more. The revenue would help fund universal preschool and government-funded healthcare programs.

HIGHER TAXES ON DATA CENTERS: Eliminating certain property tax exemptions that reportedly saved technology companies more than $450 million this year.

CHANGES TO PROPERTY TAX PROTECTIONS: Progressives are discussing potential changes to Measures 5 and 50, the voter-approved measures that limit property taxation in Oregon. Depending on how those laws are changed, homeowners, landlords, and businesses could face higher property taxes.

CHANGES TO YOUR KICKER REFUND: Rep. Gamba wants to revisit proposals to redirect some of Oregon’s surplus tax revenue to public schools rather than returning the full amount to taxpayers.

SINGLE-PAYER HEALTHCARE: Gov. Kotek’s Universal Health Plan Governance Board is expected to release recommendations by December 1 on transitioning Oregon toward a single-payer healthcare system. How such a system would be funded remains a major question.

STATEWIDE UNIVERSAL PRESCHOOL: Kotek has committed to expanding universal preschool statewide, another major government program requiring funding.

The article also discusses a proposal from Sen. Mark Meek to increase Oregon’s estate tax exemption from $1 million to as much as $2.5 million. Unlike the other revenue proposals, this would provide tax relief for some Oregon families.

The questions Oregonians should be asking are simple: How much will these programs cost? Who will ultimately pay for them? What happens to Oregon’s economy if taxes continue to increase? And what protections will remain for homeowners, businesses, and taxpayers?

@KikiF_7 Is that on an apple care repair? Or is it just a general repair? Just curious if I ever have to take mine in for repair.

PGE is seeking a 4.8% rate increase, which would take effect next summer. They say the extra money would help replace aging power lines, upgrade equipment, and prepare for severe weather. https://t.co/Di2Z8A6NEm

🚨This will make you SICK Oregon. 🤢
And not from too much Halloween candy.

So, $426 MILLION of your tax dollars handed out, and Oregon Democrats' housing agency "is unable to verify" it went to the right people.

That's not me just grabbing numbers out of thin air.
That's the Oregon Secretary of State's OWN audit of the state housing agency's pandemic rent aid program.

💸$426 million sent out
💸ONLY $37 million in LIKELY FRAUDULENT applications caught
💸NO way they can verify the rest

And when auditors dug in:
📉They spot-checked payments & found errors in nearly 1 in 3.
📉An estimated $11 MILLION in questioned costs in one year alone.
📉$21 MILLION they couldn't even test because the records were THAT much of a mess.

Hang on. I'm sorry. But it gets crazier.
That SAME housing agency now runs Kotek's homelessness money!

Homelessness jumped 19%⬆️in ONE YEAR, the biggest increase in the nation.

These people are fiscally incompetent.
They couldn't run a lemonade stand, let alone a state.

After 40 years of Oregon Democrats, it's time for common sense and fiscal competence.
VOTE DRAZAN & RED 🔴🔴🔴
Up & down the ballot.
