In other words: Democrats can ram unlimited bills and tax hikes on Oregonians without Republican votes.

🚨 UPDATE: Democrats are on track to GAIN seats in both chambers of the Oregon Legislature, strengthening their supermajorities to 39–21 in the House and 19–11 in the Senate.

In other words: Democrats can ram unlimited bills and tax hikes on Oregonians without Republican votes.

Here’s the hard truth: The Republican brand in Oregon, led by elitist, out of touch political think-tank and consultants, continues to fail. The voter turnout/registration is proof.

There’s no fight. No inspiration. No excitement. No morals the Republican machine stands on.

I’ve said it for years: The Oregon Republican machine needs leaders who are bold, courageous, know how to fight and inspire, and not just play defense.

Democrats don’t just win in Oregon, Republicans lose.

I’m not trying to divide, but I love my state more than staying quiet.

We need to rebuild a party capable of winning and changing minds. Right now, we’re more worried about appeasing radicals than standing for what’s right.

The Democrats organize and coordinate better because they set egos aside to move towards one goal.

Republicans in Oregon can do the same, but it’s going to take egos on all sides to be put aside. I’ve done my best to do my part, however I refuse to accept this as our future.
