Family

My first calling in life has always been to my family. The truth is, in politics, I’ve often wondered if I’ve put them first. Long hours, endless travel, and constant battles have pulled me away. But my family has always stood behind me, knowing this fight is about more than one man’s career. They know it’s about securing, for the next generation, the same opportunities we were blessed with growing up. At our house, we know that every sacrifice made is so your family, too, can have peace, prosperity, and the chance to thrive.

Country

I take seriously the meaning of an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States. In 2021, I told a defiant crowd in Oregon City: “The United States Constitution doesn’t protect us. It is we who must protect the United States Constitution.” Those words still ring true today. Our freedom survives only when ordinary people are willing to stand up and defend it. Ordinary people, like you and me, is what the corrupt establishment fears the most.

Community

I’ve felt the sadness, and later the anger, of watching corrupt politicians enable chaos: supporting drug addiction, homelessness, and crime instead of protecting families. My heart breaks for Oregon and for the thousands suffering from addiction, violence, financial hardship, and mental illness. I ache for students robbed of a good education, and for young athletes cheated out of championships they worked hard for. That heartbreak fuels my passion. It’s why I fight harder and harder every single day.

But do not lose hope. My unwavering effort to turn Oregon around is about remembering that no political machine, no cartel, no foreign adversary, and no corrupt elite is stronger than a people united. Family, country, and community make the backbone of Oregon.

Together, we will restore accountability, reclaim our freedoms, and build a state where opportunity is not the exception but the rule. Because when we stand together, we don’t just save Oregon, we become unbreakable.
