The value of an open space that we can enjoy for our health and well being cannot be underestimated. Instead of selling it to the highest bidder who will turn it into private property and use the 31 acre parcel for their own use and profit, the land should be kept for the community, plants, and animals that have an oasis there, a refuge from the highly managed orchards and encroaching development.

Yesterday I was horrified as I watched Trump AND Vance attack Zelensky. As bad as it is, if you haven't seen it, you need to. You need to know what we are living under at this time. I am certain that if the Courts do not uphold the Constitution in the next few weeks, the United States of America will no longer exist as a democracy. We are barely one right now.

David Stuebe puts people over politics. He has spent his life in service to his community and to his country with 30 years in the Marine Corps, retiring as a Colonel. David’s resume is impressive and speaks to how he will be as a legislator - compassionate, moderate and collaborative.

We've been fortunate to bring in high quality equipment, and make it accessible to local startups, innovators, hobbyists, businesses and of course our students. Through economic development partnerships with the National Institute of Standards and Technology and Oregon Manufacturing Extension Partnership, the AM&F program has kept $382,000 in our region.

As the former director of the Port of The Dalles, I believe that a robust community college is essential for providing workforce training to support new and expanding businesses. This training is crucial for attracting and nurturing local enterprises, thereby creating employment opportunities for our youth and fellow citizens.

He is the hardest-working candidate I’ve ever encountered. Nick has visited The Dalles many times. He has personally telephoned me several times and knocked on our door at least twice. Recent polling showed him just 3 points behind the incumbent.

He's not a "politician," he is someone who has dedicated his career to community service. I have met him and listened to him speak several times when he has come to The Dalles. While he lives in a rural community closer to the metro area, the fact that he has been spending so much time on the east side of our district shows me he is committed to serving us.

I've lived and worked in Wasco County for the past 54 years and I am a registered Republican. This election my wife, Sharon Stewart, and I will be voting for Kamala Harris for President and Tim Walz for Vice President because we love our country and cherish the freedoms we enjoy as Americans.

I choose hope and respect, not party affiliations. What matters is what works best for the majority of Americans, not the billionaires paying Trump’s campaign costs for the tax cuts only they will get in 2025.

With a national shortage of healthcare professionals, our local college is stepping up to fill the gap by providing high-quality, affordable education and training. By supporting this bond, we are supporting local students, creating jobs, and strengthening our healthcare system.

In just over three years, Biden’s major accomplishments resulted in dozens of benefits for Americans, despite obstruction from congressional Republicans. Five accomplishments benefiting the Pacific Northwest and you:

Visually impaired voters in Washington State continue to be disenfranchised.

“When you have a person running for president who is not willing to say, I believe the outcome of an election, that’s a threat to Democracy”.  

While Donald Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by almost 3 million votes, and lost the popular vote to Joe Biden by 7 million votes, he won a unanimous 12 popular votes of his fellow New Yorkers on 34 felony counts for business and election fraud crimes that allowed him to win the Presidency via the Electoral College in 2016.

Yes, the U.S. complicity in Israel's genocidal attacks on Gaza is immoral. The bigger picture is that if Trump is elected and his right-wing minions in Congress retain power, our democracy will devolve to an unregulated predatory corporatocracy with theocratic and oligarchic oversight.
