Oregon Republican Party

Gov. Tina Kotek has declined a July Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association gubernatorial debate with Sen. Christine Drazan, R-Canby, despite participating in 2022...The decision comes less than a week after Kotek challenged Drazan to three debates in Portland, Eugene and Medford.

Drazan responded to Kotek’s invitation on social media, saying, “LOL. Of course we’re going to debate. I can do that all day with a record like yours. But if we’re going to talk about Oregon, we should include all of it—not just the I-5 corridor.”

The debate was set to be held during ONPA's annual summer gathering at the Salem Convention Center on July 24.

"Impeachment theatre." That's exactly the show the current Oregon Representative is putting on. Along with our Attorney General and our governor, the whole focus of the show seems to be to hinder and to censor and to stop those in Washington who are trying to make government more efficient, more accountable, less intrusive, and less wasteful of taxpayers' dollars.

Isn't it time for a Representative in Congress who is there to represent the real interests and needs of Oregon's businesses and families?

Question for Oregonians: Is Bonamici protecting students, or preserving federal bureaucracy?

Secretary McMahon has betrayed students, families, and educators by dismantling and demolishing the Department of Education, something she does not have authority to do. Congress created the Department and it would take an Act of Congress to shut it down. About 90 percent of students in this country attend public schools. Students have the right to equal access without discrimination and students with disabilities have the right to a free and appropriate education.

I will not stand by and let Sec. McMahon destroy the federal programs, funding, and research that are critical to public schools and the millions of students they serve.

Second amendment rights are in the news today.

The Supreme Court unanimously held in United States v. Hemani that the federal ban on firearm possession by "unlawful drug users" violates the Second Amendment.

“Ultimately, this ruling carries immediate, profound implications for millions of Americans who use medical or recreational cannabis under state frameworks — removing the threat of federal criminal liability for peaceful gun ownership,” says Cato’s Mike Fox.

Cato, joined by the Reason Foundation, filed an amicus brief urging the Court to hold that the law violates the Second Amendment: https://ow.ly/Lk7n50ZeonK
