Something truly remarkable in Oregon is happening—leading Ds and Rs are breaking ranks, uniting across party-lines, and endorsing non-affiliated Betsy Johnson for gov. Why is this happening? I offer four reasons why these unusual endorsements matter.#orpol

We have all had enough of the / lie that everyone who disagrees with them is racist. We need new leadership in Salem that values ALL Oregonians.

I'm proud to be endorsed by & . #TimberUnity is a grassroots org that is politically and racially diverse. The only thing they are guilty of is working hard with their hands, and providing a good living for their families.

Timber Unity, a group with well-documented ties to white nationalists and other extremist groups, just endorsed @ChristineDrazan and praised @SenBetsyJohnson.
The last thing Oregon needs is a Governor who share ties with election deniers, Capitol rioters, and white supremacists.

Know or not yet? Either way, take a few minutes to read this remarkable article in today about the best candidate to be Oregon's next Governor. “She’s not like anyone Oregon has ever had. Maybe that’s what we need to break out of these doldrums.”

. asked why I endorse . Simply, we need a leader who is loyal to the people of Oregon, and not political parties or powerful special interest groups. We need a Governor who will call out lies and call it like it is, for both the left and the right.

I am endorsing for Governor because Betsy's plain-spoken, independent spirit and proven record of putting the concerns of everyday Oregonians before partisan politics is exactly what Oregon needs right now.

Republican , who was planning a run for governor, originally got this through the Oregon Legislature in 2015. Since then, it's spread all over the country.

As we navigate this public health crisis, our elected leaders must respect our Constitutional liberties. I hope all faith leaders in OR will show Gov. Brown how religious gatherings and church services can be done safely.

In Congress, I will stand with President Trump to lower taxes, defend the Second Amendment, secure the border, put an end to sanctuary cities, and fight Nancy Pelosi's liberal agenda just like I fought Kate Brown in Salem.

OR liberals have always hated our tough crime laws and rights for crime victims. Undermining the will of Oregonians during this public health and economic crisis is a disgrace.

Oregon voters approved the death penalty and it should be voters - not Kate Brown - who decide its future. I personally support the death penalty.

I will fight the radical left in Congress, just as I did in the Oregon Legislature. I opposed Kate Brown’s radical cap and trade scheme and I’ll fight the Biden-AOC Green New Deal.

I am running to represent those who far too often have been left out and left behind by the liberal establishment and special interests groups.
I will stand with Pres Trump in DC to fight Nancy Pelosi and the special interest groups, and I will stand for our conservative values.
