In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“"I haven't gotten it. I know they're doing a lot of things elsewhere. But I really want to do good for my district."”
“"I do believe that I am in touch with Oregonians, because I walk with them," Adair told the Source in response, citing the strain of high gas and grocery prices. "When I go to Winco, people seem to be breathing a little bit easier there, because prices in Winco, they're not as high as other places."”
“"I'm glad that I won," Adair told the Source by phone on Wednesday, adding that Oregon is "at the wrong end of everything," citing test scores, taxes and transportation fatalities. "I'm trying to go to Congress in order to make things better for people who live in Oregon. We've got a lot of changing to do."”
“"I never planned on running for Congress. I am not a career politician; I am a proud mother, wife, businesswoman, philanthropist, and fourth-generation Oregonian who has spent her entire life serving others. I am not a partisan; I am a problem-solver who prides herself on bringing people together and delivering results that improve Oregonians' lives."”
“"I am deeply grateful for the trust that voters from across District 5 have placed in me. It is an honor and responsibility that I do not take lightly."”
“"What I do in Deschutes County can clearly be transferred to our federal government," she said. "The federal debt needs to be very closely monitored. We've got to leave something for our next generation."”

“"I am a proud mother, wife, businesswoman, philanthropist, and Deschutes County Commissioner who has spent her entire life in the service of others. From being involved in 4-H growing up, to raising millions of dollars for charity, to representing my neighbors on the Deschutes County Commission, I have always cared deeply about my community and improving people's lives. That is why I am running for U.S. Congress: because District 5 deserves a Representative that will actually listen and deliver real results."”
