It was an honor to attend the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team Demobilization Ceremony Yesterday. Watching more than 200 soldiers reunite with their families was a powerful reminder of the commitment, resilience and professionalism that define the men and women of the Oregon National Guard. Their service reflects the very best of our state and our country. Oregon is proud to welcome you home!

A preview of Tina Kotek’s entire campaign and debate strategy against Christine Drazan Tina Kotek has spent the last 18 months trying to lay her failures during 2 years of Biden and 18 months of Trump at President Trump’s feet. Why? Because she has no excuse. President Trump will not and cannot be Governor of Oregon in January of 2027. Tina Kotek needs to remember exactly who she is debating. #DrazanforGovernor #ChristineDrazan #Drazan

Bridget Carleton has been incredible from three tonight 🔥

Oregon has the most beautiful scenery in America. We should be at the top of every summer road trip list. Instead, we’re ranked near the bottom because under Tina Kotek, Oregon’s gas prices are higher than almost anywhere else in the nation. You deserve a governor focused on making life more affordable. Tina has proven that she’s focused on making it more expensive. It’s another reason she needs to be fired this November. oregonlive.com/travel/2026/0…

Tina Kotek promised to fix homelessness. Instead she’s spent billions and made the crisis worse. Homelessness should be rare and temporary, not chronic and permanent. When I’m Governor, we will treat addiction and mental health as the core of this crisis, fully audit homelessness spending, enforce arrest warrants for those committing crimes, support law enforcement and get people reconnected with their families and off the streets for good. oregonlive.com/politics/2026…

Dear @TinaKotek If @ChristineDrazan is such a threat to vote-by-mail, why are you talking about @realDonaldTrump in a race for Governor of Oregon? Asking for 4.3 million Oregonians who would like to know whether this election is about Oregon or your favorite campaign boogeyman. Sincerely,
Confused Voters

Just one more reason we need @ChristineDrazan!

Oregon's affordability crisis under Tina Kotek keeps getting worse. Residents of our state's largest city are facing roughly $700 per year in new taxes and fees. It's no wonder 41% of Portlanders are thinking about moving, and her most recent round of tax hikes was soundly rejected. Instead of easing the burden, Tina's answer is always the same: more taxes, more spending and more burden on working families. We can't afford four more years of Tina Kotek's taxes and chaos. This November, we fire her failed agenda, cut taxes for working families, tear up her costly executive orders and repeal regulations that are driving up the cost of living. kptv.com/2026/06/10/typical-…

Just one hour on the streets of Portland

Oregon is bucking the trend on homelessness, but not in a good way. While the rest of the country is getting people off the streets, Oregon’s homeless population rose by nearly 20%, with a 43% increase in our largest county. That means more people suffering from mental health and addiction issues, more crime and more people dying on our streets because they can’t get the help they need. Tina Kotek campaigned on solving this crisis, but things keep going from bad to worse on her watch. It’s time for her to go. Full story here: opb.org/article/2026/06/02/h…

You can tell a lot about a community by what it chooses to invest in and protect. The priorities of a place become evident in the way it grows, the way its people work together and the way they care for one another. That’s exactly what I see every time I visit Oregon’s North Coast. From seafood processing plants working around the clock to feed families here and around the world, to a hospital committed to delivering healthcare that works for its community, to local leaders and volunteers who serve simply because they love the place they call home, there is a spirit of hard work and resilience that defines this region. The North Coast reminds me what this campaign is really about. It’s about the men and women who get up before sunrise, put in an honest day’s work and simply want the opportunity to build a life and raise a family in the state they love. Oregonians aren’t asking for special treatment. They’re asking for a government that works as hard as they do. I’m grateful for the conversations, the partnerships and the opportunity to continue fighting for communities like these. Together, we can make Oregon a place where the next generation doesn’t have to leave to find opportunity. They can build it right here at home.

It was great to join 350 people in St. Paul this weekend to kick off rodeo season at the annual Pancake Breakfast. 🥞 Since 1947, this event has brought Oregonians together to celebrate community, tradition & the start of summer. Looking forward to the main event next month! 🤠

The number of homeless individuals is falling around the country. But not under Democrat leadership in Oregon. This is not compassion: 4601 new homeless individuals, 228 new homeless veterans, highest rate of unsheltered unaccompanied youth in the nation. tinyurl.com/OregonDemsHomele…

At some point, you stop calling it dysfunction and start calling it what it is: complete societal & economic collapse. Portland has become a containment zone for radical politics, where accountability disappears and extremes take over. No serious reform, no course correction—just escalation. “Leaders” either can’t or won’t restore order, and the result is a city that feels abandoned by its own governance. You don’t fix that with slogans or more “community events.” You fix it with leadership willing to reassert basic standards. Until then, Portland stands as a warning. Not a model. Not a movement (really a bowel movement). A warning of what happens when a city loses control—and nobody steps in to take it back. @MayorKWilson @mitch4portland @jamiedunphy @pnwpolicyangel @TeacherTiff4PDX @kanalforpdx @candaceforpdx

Well @tina4oregon, I guess we DO need someone else to take out the damn trash! Luckily @ChristineDrazan has a solid plan to get Oregon cleaned up and compassionately take care of our neighbors that struggle with mental health, addiction and homelessness. Let’s Take Oregon Back!

God always wins.

Forty years is too long! Even @dex_max agrees. @Tina4Oregon has only made the problem worse the last four years. Oregon has dig itself into a hole, and it’s time to try something different. @ChristineDrazan is ready to lead and help us Take Back Oregon!
