Oregon Debate Q: Do you believe the federal government has gone too far or not far enough with immigration enforcement in Oregon?

Trump and ICE have NOTHING to do with Oregon's decline. Failed political policies mainly led by our Democrat leaders are the problem.

[David Medina 🌲🇺🇸 @davidmedinapdx]

🚨 Instead of backing down, I said what so many Oregonians are thinking: why do they NEVER protest the broken, Democrat-led system that’s done real damage to our state instead of ICE?

Oregon, this is the kind of governor you deserve. Not one who picks the easy fights, but one who takes on the hard ones for you. Why? Because you matter.

And to these individuals who don’t see it, I’m fighting for you too, even against the very system that’s failed you.

It’s time for you to wake up.

[David Medina 🌲🇺🇸 @davidmedinapdx]

As governor, I won’t tolerate policies that excuse crime or allow lawlessness to continue unchecked, including when it involves criminals here illegally.

Oregon doesn’t just need a Republican governor, we need one who will stand firm, restore accountability, and push back against the extreme policies that are putting our communities at risk.

PORTLAND, OR, May 4, 2026 — David Medina, a Washington County-based lifelong Oregonian, grassroots leader, small business owner, and candidate for Governor of Oregon, issued the following statement ahead of tonight’s KOIN-TV GOP gubernatorial primary debate. “I am disappointed that our campaign will not be represented on tonight’s debate stage, and I think the people of Oregon have every right to ask why. We have surpassed at least one other debate candidate in the polls, and we have built one of the strongest individual-donor bases in this race including what may be the third highest number of individual donors among all Oregon Republican candidates this cycle.

For a grassroots campaign like ours to be left off the stage because of a corporate fundraising threshold is not a fair or accurate reflection of our real support on the ground,” said Medina. The Medina campaign further states KOIN TV failed to respond to multiple requests for political advertising rates and for equal opportunities for broadcast interviews on behalf of a legally qualified statewide candidate during an active election cycle while its station granted several broadcast and online opportunities to the other gubernatorial candidates. The campaign is preserving records relating to those requests and has sought FCC review of KOIN’s handling of candidate communications, political advertising access, and compliance with applicable political broadcasting regulations.

The Medina campaign contends that Oregon voters are poorly served when a major television station excludes a grassroots candidate under a financial threshold while also failing to respond to inquiries regarding access to the public airwaves. “For the past several years, I have put my heart and soul into serving the people of Oregon because I believe this state is worth fighting for. It should not be possible for any PAC or corporation or a million dollar check from one big donor to put a candidate ahead in the game while grassroots voices are silenced.

Whether on a debate stage or on the campaign trail, my mission remains the same. I will continue meeting Oregonians and speaking out for the hardworking people, families, and small business owners who feel left behind by a broken political system and government. Oregon is not finished. Our better days are ahead,” said Medina. Learn more at https://t.co/ns2vTsjKLt

🚨 NEW: Oregon Democrats are spending YOUR taxpayer dollars to fund a "queer conference" across multiple state agencies...

[David Medina 🌲🇺🇸 @davidmedinapdx]

🚨 Tina Kotek just signed multiple bills claiming to “fix” Oregon’s housing crisis.

This is the same pattern from Salem Democrat politicians: create the problems and then pretend you're solving them by growing government that usually makes the problem worse. These new housing bills doesn't address most of the underlying issues for housing in Oregon.

We need a governor who will cut through the red tape that drives up costs, lower taxes, and take real action to make housing affordable again.

[David Medina 🌲🇺🇸 @davidmedinapdx]

I’ve spent years on the streets of Portland and across Oregon standing on truth and I won’t stop as your next Governor.

We’ll bring people together through honest conversation and mutual respect. But I will never compromise on policies that hurt our families, businesses, or schools.

We’re going to turn this state around, but I need your help. We have just 5 days to raise $75K to reach the debate stage.

@GerardKapraun Moved out of the state last year. Done. Done. Done. But …… friends and family still there so rooting for change for y’all!!

[Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley]

The swamp is running the same EXACT playbook they ran during President Trump's first term. Bog down legislation, appointments, and executive actions via judicial nonsense.

There is only one solution that will break them instantly...

Trump 2028. Even if he doesn't actually run, we need the legal path for doing so to be cleared, so that there is legitimate leverage to scare these assholes into operating correctly.

I would launch this legal pursuit IMMEDIATELY following the midterm elections.

[Promethean Action @PrometheanActn]

Trump told Israel NO on South Pars. Called NATO COWARDS on Hormuz. Both slapped down in 72 hours. Why? Because both serve the same master — Britain's Great Game. The Japan deal shows what replaces it: sovereign energy, nuclear power, critical minerals. The old empire is finished.

[David Medina 🌲🇺🇸 @davidmedinapdx]

What an amazing day in Eugene and Coos Bay meeting incredible Oregonians who are ready to take their state BACK!

Shout out to Rob Taylor @tarenfeist, and the Coos County Republicans for putting on a fantastic forum. And thank you Ed and Danielle for showing up. At the end of the day, Oregon won!

Christine and Chris, although you weren’t there, I hope you two had a great day.

Folks, the future is BRIGHT for Oregon!

THANK YOU to all who came out to the meet and greet with @SavannahCraven5 last night!

What a great evening of fellowship, encouragement and even some karaoke! Savannah is incredibly smart and inspiring! It was an honor to hear her share about her work and her time meeting Charlie Kirk.

Thank you, Savannah, for your support and keep up the great work!

NEW: A tip was sent to me from a parent at Gardiner Middle School in Oregon City that shows kids are being encouraged by the school to walk out next Tuesday 3/17 in protest of ICE. Fliers are even being distributed.

As governor, this type of nonsense, including DEI and political agendas, END and the rebuilding of Oregon’s education system will BEGIN.

Why vote for David Medina on May 19th? Because I’m the only candidate willing to do whatever it takes to root out government corruption and hold those abusing the system, and our rights, ACCOUNTABLE.

Oregonians are out of time. We cannot afford more career politicians. It’s time to elect a true outsider who’s ALWAYS been fighting for you!

No more fear of the media or radical activists. It’s time to save our state!

The TRUTH only comes out through dialogue and honest discussion. We have to be willing to talk to each other.

As Governor, I’ll continue doing what I’ve always done: bringing people together, listening, and building common ground.

Together, we can HEAL Oregon.

[David Medina 🌲🇺🇸 @davidmedinapdx]

Oregon is in crisis. We need a fighter, a disruptor, someone outside the corrupt political machine.

This is the most important election in Oregon history.

If we don’t get it right on May 19th, radical Democrat elites and their media allies will keep bullying our Republican leaders and pushing their agenda on Oregonians.

But they’re worried because they know we have the people to defeat them.

Join the fight and help push us over the finish line. Hundreds of Oregonians have already stepped up to fuel this campaign, but we still have a long way to go.

Oregon has the most beautiful coastline in America and it’s not even close. 🙌🏽

Had an incredible time with the Lincoln County Republicans this weekend. The room was PACKED with freedom fighters who love this state and refuse to give up on it. Thank you for the warm welcome!

Help me continue the fight: https://t.co/pDOns9aRKX 🙏🏽

See you this week in Lebanon, Eugene, and Coos Bay!
