In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“This campaign is about putting Oregon first. Fighting for affordable living, safer communities, good-paying jobs, responsible government, and protecting the values that make our beloved state strong. Oregon families deserve a Senator who understands what it means to balance a budget, run a business, and fight for local communities. I'm running to give a voice to the people who feel forgotten; the workers, parents, farmers, fishermen, small business owners, and rural communities who keep Oregon moving. This election is bigger than politics. It's about restoring hope, opportunity, and accountability for every Oregonian. Together, we will build a better Oregon for today's generation and so many generations to come.”
“Republicans across the Beaver State have sent a clear message: they're tired of being ignored by political insiders and policies that make life harder for local businesses and working families.”
“As your next United States Senator, my mission is simple: Put Oregon First. It's time for leadership rooted in service -- not headlines or personal ambition. That's what I've done my entire career, and that's what I'll continue doing in Washington. Join me, and together, we will build a better Oregon.”
“As a third-generation Oregonian, it's been the honor of my life to serve you locally and in Salem.”
“I've never operated that way. As your next United States Senator, I won't start now. My focus will be squarely on the people of Oregon. I'll fight to make everyday life more affordable for working families, restore safety to our streets, address addiction and homelessness with accountability, and ensure every Oregonian's voice is heard and respected in Washington.”
“Oregonians are tired of partisan bickering, political grandstanding, and headlines that produce nothing but noise.”

“I support law enforcement, accountability for repeat offenders, and restoring consequences that keep our kids and communities safe.”
“I have and will continue to lead the state to address the desperate need for active forest management, fuel reduction, and working with landowners to better protect homes and communities.”
“Oregon families are being priced out of their own state, and businesses are moving across state lines. We need common-sense solutions that incentivize job growth in our communities, help make homes more affordable, and bring back the American Dream for Oregonians. That means no new taxes, more support for our local businesses, eliminating fraud, and reducing unnecessary government spending.”
