Running for a Legislative Seat![]()
I was disappointed in the News Review article today featuring a person from Lookinglass who has stated intentions to run for the Republican Primary in Oregon House District 2. I have spoken with this person and sent them a letter seeking clarification.![]()
What the News Review article failed to state is that the potential candidate does not live in House District 2. Lookinglass and Melrose are not in House District 2 but rather House District 1. Under the Oregon elections law this candidate would need to move their primary residence before November 1, 2021, which is after the primary filing deadline.![]()
So, it appears I will be running against a candidate who is not technically qualified for the office based on their residency. In the past other candidates have used fictitious addresses or non-primary resident addresses to address this issue. It is unfortunate that the paper did not do this most basic research into the story.![]()
For a potential candidate who is basing their potential run on the ineffectiveness of the current elected Republicans, perhaps, they should first comply with the election laws before deeming those of us who are trying to uphold and abide by the laws.
Today, the Republican Leadership asked the Governor to follow California is removing the pandemic restrictions. Long ago, the Governor committed to following both California and Washington given our close proximity. Now, for some reason, she suddenly wants Oregon to continue the lockdown restrictions. It is time to let our economy restart and recover.
House District 2 and many of our neighbors were significantly impacted by the recent wildfires. I will be supporting SB464 when it comes over to the House. Please join me in supporting this vital piece of legislation that will help so many impacted families.
