I have stated this non stop!! Oregon is the product of one party rule for 40 years.

[Conservative in Oregon @oregonducksmama]

There is a DEMOCRAT SUPERMAJORITY IN OREGON so the severe downfall of Oregon/Portland lands squarely on the Democrats in charge.

Not Trump. Not Washington DC. Not Republicans. Not anyone else.

Democrats have ran this state into the ground with their far leftist policies.

@oregonwoman Agree. It was a great 3 hour conversation. I learned a lot!

[Michele Stroh- for Oregon Senate Dist 20 @fivekiddos2005]

It was a pleasure to participate in a ride-along with the OCPD. I am thankful for the endorsement from OCPEA. Officer Rohde, I was privileged to share my passion for serving the public and to gain insight into the critical work you do in safeguarding our community. Thank you for asking about my son, Keaton, and for acknowledging the difficulties families face as a result of fentanyl in our community. I am dedicated to showcasing the human side of law enforcement. I extend my gratitude for your service and eagerly anticipate joining you again.

And elect the ones that are for bringing back accountability, expectations and pencil and paper!
It’s okay to go back to what worked.

Return sanity to Oregon’s public education. Elect legislators in November who are committed to reinstating graduation standards.

Ever seen an all-red election results map of Oregon?

Voters blasted Gov. Tina Kotek's signature gas tax hike with November looming.

Oregon was once a land of rugged opportunity, timber, tech pioneers, and hardworking families building the American Dream in the Pacific Northwest. But starting in the late 1980s, as Democrats locked in control of the governorship and legislature with no Republican trifecta in decades, the state became a laboratory for leftist experiments. The results? Skyrocketing homelessness, urban decay in Portland, failing schools, businesses fleeing, and policies that punish success while coddling chaos. Oregon Democrats own this mess.
After the last Republican governor, Vic Atiyeh, left office in 1987, one party Democrat rule took over. They shifted school funding with Measure 5 in 1990, promising relief but delivering bureaucratic bloat and mediocre outcomes. Instead of strong basics in reading, writing, and math, Oregon kids get indoctrination. Today, too many Oregon schools rank poorly nationally, captured by unions that prioritize politics over parents and standards.
Fast forward to the progressive era: Portland’s embrace of “defund the police,” harm reduction, and radical experiments turned a vibrant city into a national punchline. Measure 110 in 2020 decriminalized hard drugs, flooding streets with fentanyl and open air addiction. Homeless encampments exploded, businesses boarded up, and downtown entered a “doom loop” of crime, vacant storefronts, and declining foot traffic. Violent crime spikes followed George Floyd era policies, with slow police response times making neighborhoods unsafe. Even after partial reversals, the damage from decades of soft on crime Democrat governance is baked in.
Economically, high taxes including income taxes that drive talent away and anti business regulations have stalled growth. While the nation recovered, Portland’s metro lost thousands of jobs in recent years, with high paying sectors hit hard. Housing costs soared due to restrictive zoning and progressive mandates, pricing out working families. Population growth slowed as Oregonians voted with their feet, heading to lower tax, safer states. Overreliance on volatile income taxes and social spending experiments left budgets strained, even as roads crumbled and services lagged.
Homelessness remains a disgrace under leaders like Tina Kotek, tents everywhere, failed “housing first” approaches without accountability, and billions spent with little results. Green deals and environmental extremism hurt traditional industries like logging and energy, trading blue collar jobs for virtue signals. Democrat supermajorities keep doubling down more spending, more rules, more excuses.
The pattern in Oregon mirrors the national Democrat playbook, erode law and order, expand government dependency, prioritize ideology over results, and watch American exceptionalism bleed out. From the 1980s timber transitions mishandled through today’s urban collapse and economic stagnation, Oregon proves that unchecked progressive governance doesn’t build, it destroys. Oregonians deserve better: lower taxes, safer streets, school choice, and policies that reward work, not welfare. It’s time to reject the failed Democrat vision that turned the Beaver State into a cautionary tale. America, and Oregon, can do better. 🇺🇸 🐺

Victory for Oregon Taxpayers!

Oregonians have spoken clearly: No more tax hikes. Measure 120 was overwhelmingly rejected by an 83% to 17% margin.

This decisive vote sends a strong message. Government must first manage existing funds responsibly before asking for more. We will continue pushing to reform ODOT, eliminate waste, and prioritize essential road and bridge repairs.

Thank you to the thousands of dedicated volunteers, the Oregon Freedom Coalition, and the Taxpayer Association of Oregon for their grassroots engagement that made this victory possible.

On to the next fight! Let’s kill Kotek’s $311 million tax clawback too!

[Cascade Policy Institute @CascadePolicy]

Oregon has the most restrictive land-use regulations in the nation, a punitive death tax, and banned its most reliable energy sources. A task force won't fix that.

[Michele Stroh- for Oregon Senate Dist 20 @fivekiddos2005]

Thankful to see the crushing end to the overreach! I spent long hours collecting signatures and listening to Oregonians ! I
Will take this dedication and passion to Salem!

[Taren Feist @tarenfeist]

Oregon absolutely CRUSHED Measure 120.

After everything Democrats tried to pull — telling us higher taxes were the ONLY way to fund ODOT, ignoring Republican alternatives, moving the referendum from the general election to a low-turnout primary after Oregonians gathered 250,000+ signatures — voters still rejected it in a landslide.

83% NO.

That should send a message loud and clear: Oregonians are DONE being treated like an endless ATM for government spending and failed leadership.

Now imagine what happens if we carry this same energy into the general election.

Not just for Governor, but for legislative seats across Oregon too. Because if Democrats keep control, the cycle continues: another session, another tax, another “emergency” funding package, another excuse to reach into YOUR wallets.

It never ends until voters end it.

Oregon can absolutely make Tina Kotek a one-term governor. And we can elect Republican leaders like @ChristineDrazan who will actually fight for taxpayers instead of squeezing them harder every year.

Don’t forget this moment. Oregonians just proved we still have a voice.
