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.

Travis Marston does not currently hold an Oregon State Bar license. Kara has varied work experience as the current DA for Gilliam County, as a public defender, and as an attorney in private practice. Kara has prior governmental experience, which is integral for the DA position. She has a proven track record of litigating difficult criminal cases such as sex offenses, Measure 11 crimes, and other high-level criminal cases. The DA must be able to charge, and litigate, the worst crimes committed in the county; these skills come from courtroom experience and practice.
