40% of Portlanders are considering moving. The solution from Tina Kotek’s allies: impose more tax and fee hikes to make the city even less affordable.
The average Portlander will see $1500 in new taxes and fees for utilities, water rates and trash collection. Even the art tax is going up.
This is what happens when our leaders put their own agendas before serving our communities.
It has to change, and it starts at the top.

Let's be clear. Measure 120 failed because of failed leadership. Period.
While Tina Kotek is skirting blame for soaring gas prices and leaning on outside experts to tell her how to run ODOT, I have a plan on day one to make ODOT accountable to Oregonians WITHOUT raising their taxes.
Last night, Oregonians sent a message to Tina Kotek and defeated her gas tax hike by a decisive, overwhelming margin.
Democrats, Republicans, and Independents came together to make it clear that they are done with her costly agenda and want to make our state more affordable.
But will she listen to us? Of course not.
That's why we need to win this November and put her failures behind us.

Thank you, Oregon! I am honored to be your Republican nominee for governor of the great state of Oregon!
Thank you to all the Republican candidates for a hard fought race. I am so grateful for your commitment to making Oregon a better place. Thank you to my family for supporting me every step of the way. And thank you to voters, my team and volunteers who helped make last night’s victory possible.
Now it's time to come together to fire Tina Kotek in November and move Oregon forward.
We can make Oregon the best state in the nation to raise our families, buy a home, start a business and receive a world-class education. I am in this fight with you and for you, and together, we are going to make history in November.
We can’t afford four more years of Tina Kotek’s taxes and chaos.
Let’s get to work.
Congratulations to @ChristineDrazan on becoming the OFFICIAL Republican Nominee!
Her plan to restore public safety, lower taxes, and make housing more affordable proves that Oregon's best days are ahead with Drazan as governor.
Thank you to my dear friend (and my getaway car during the Cap and Trade walkout), Rep. Shelly Boshart Davis @BoshartDavisAg for your kind words and endorsement!
I’m so grateful for your friendship and support!

Oregonians in Florence are excited and ready to fire Tina Kotek in November!
High taxes, overregulation and radical politicians are forcing Main Street to close up shop – eliminating thousands of jobs, especially on the Oregon Coast.
For Oregon to be the best place to start a business and create jobs, government needs to cut taxes and get out of the way. That’s what I’ll do as governor.
Thank you to future State Representative Claire Lynn and Mayor Rob Ward for joining me!
Thank you to all the @TeamDrazan volunteers for spending the last few months canvassing and phone banking for our campaign!
This evening was extra special because I joined volunteers in my district in Canby along with Commissioner Ben West (@BenforOregon), Rep. Matt Bunch and Sen. @DavidBrockSmith!

🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨
Thank you to Rep. @EWernerReschke for your support! It was an honor to fight with you to defeat HB 2025, Tina Kotek’s original massive $15 billion transportation gas tax hike.
As governor, I am committed to cutting taxes and making Oregon more affordable.
BREAKING: Dudley campaign has a memo citing internal polling. The results have him beating Gov. Kotek. It also shows Drazan and Kotek tied in the hypothetical match up. #orpol#ORGov
Beautiful evening at Tumwater Vineyards in West Linn! We all need a glass of wine or two after four years of Tina Kotek as governor. But more importantly — we need to cut taxes, fix our schools, end homelessness as we know it, restore accountability and make Oregon affordable for families.
We are just one week away from the primary and then off to make Tina a one-term governor.
Thank you to Gordon Root, Commissioner Ben West and Senate Republican Leader and Co-Petitioner of the Gas Tax Referendum, Senator Bruce Starr for your support and for making this evening possible!
🚨ENDORSEMENT ALERT🚨
I’m honored to have the endorsement of Senate Republican Leader and Co-Petitioner of the Gas Tax Referendum, Senator Bruce Starr!
“I've served in the Oregon Senate for a long time. I've seen a lot of politicians come and go. So when I tell you Christine Drazan is the real deal — I mean it. That's why I'm proud to endorse Christine Drazan for Governor of Oregon.” - Sen. Bruce Starr
Thank you Senator! Let’s go win this thing.
🚨ONE WEEK UNTIL THE PRIMARY🚨
Every Oregon family deserves to live in a safe community, afford a good home for their family and send their kids to schools that give them the education they deserve.
They deserve better than the failures we've seen for four years under Tina Kotek.
Vote and turn your ballot in by May 19th!
Almost four years of Tina Kotek's failures have left Portland worse off than ever, with rising crime and homelessness, unaffordable homes, and fewer jobs for working families.
Like all Oregonians, Portlanders are ready for change and that's what I intend to deliver as your next Governor.
Cast your vote for the May 19 primary so we can take the first step toward firing Tina Kotek.
