To all the supporters of this campaign: We worked unbelievably hard. We knocked thousands of doors, walked countless miles, and left everything we had on the field. No matter the outcome, we can be proud we ran a clean and respectful campaign rooted in conviction, grit, and the issues that truly matter to this district.
This race didn’t end the way we hoped, but I’m not going away. I want to thank every single person who stood with me in this fight, and what a fight it was. I will always believe rural Oregon deserves a voice at the table, and I do respect the will of the voters.
Oregonians also overwhelmingly defeated the gas tax. I’m proud of the work we did for that. What a win!
Thank you for every prayer, every vote, every donation, every sign wave, and every person who believed in me enough to walk this road beside me. I will always be grateful. Timing is everything, till next time. ❤️🇺🇸
