Today, @USAttyPirro announced that Strand Book Store, Inc. has agreed to pay $1,482,560 because the New York City bookstore violated the False Claims Act by improperly applying for and receiving a second draw loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) for which it was not eligible. Strand was ineligible because Senator Ron Wyden’s wife was the owner.

Tina Kotek has spent millions trying to distract Oregonians from her failed record with misleading fear tactics, all to hold onto power.
I’m not interested in making excuses for failure. I’m interested in fixing it.

Tina Kotek ran for Oregon governor 4 years ago, promising to end the homeless crisis.
Instead, it increased 35%.
After more than 40 years of Democrat rule, it’s time for change.
Vote Christine Drazan.

The vast majority of people living on our streets are facing severe mental health challenges, addiction or both. Tina Kotek completely ignores that reality.
My plan will break the cycle of homelessness and addiction by name and need.
And no more tent cities when I’m governor.

Portland’s Royal Sonesta: bought for $108.3M in 2016. Now reportedly sold for $6.83M for 220 rooms—just $31,000 per key. A staggering 93.7% price collapse.
This is what happens when government fails at public safety, downtown disorder spirals, Measure 110’s consequences go unaddressed, and Multnomah County’s mental-health system fails people in crisis.
Tourism doesn’t thrive where visitors feel unsafe and downtown businesses struggle to survive.
Portland didn’t get here by accident. Policy choices have consequences—and taxpayers, workers, businesses, and property owners are paying the price.

Tina Kotek's campaign pocketed $50k from insurance giant that "took advantage of Oregon" by overbilling for Medicaid drugs, leading to $17M settlement in '22.
Yet Kotek's state government gave co. $56M in new biz in Feb '26
And got $50K donation Apr '26
Receipts 👇

Multnomah County’s DEI points system prioritized homeless housing by race and national origin.
That ends today.
Unlawful DEI scoring system gone. Applicants rescored on lawful criteria. Taxpayer dollars based on need — not identity.

Tina Kotek inherited a top 20 business climate and drove it into the bottom eight in just four years.
She calls that prosperity. I call it failure.
As governor, I will declare Oregon OPEN FOR BUSINESS.

New York is joining 30 other states in the new Federal Scholarship Tax Credit program, opening the door to millions in additional K-12 scholarship funding without reducing public school budgets.
Even Governor Kathy Hochul sees the opportunity.
So why isn't Oregon participating?
Beginning in 2027, the program could provide new educational opportunities for Oregon students at no direct cost to the state budget.
Oregon families deserve an answer: What's holding our state back?

If people want better for themselves, their kids and their businesses, they have to vote for change. As governor, I will restore our quality of life, serve our most vulnerable and make this a place where Oregonians can afford to live and are proud to call home again.

Good and fair quote.
🚨 Drazan: Oregon went from TOP 20 to BOTTOM 8.
@ChristineDrazan: “Oregon was a top-20 economy just four years ago, and she drop-kicked it into the bottom eight in four years.”
“We’ve lost 25,000 jobs in a single year here.”
Her message to Oregonians: “I don’t care what your party affiliation is. If you believe this is not good enough for you and your family… I need people to turn out to get this done.”

OBI's report showing job-posting data for the third quarter of 2026 is now available, and Oregon continues to trail the nation.

Last week, the Universal Health Governance Board struggled with what to call their new tax scheme estimated at $30 billion. Their proposed “household health care contribution,” AKA “tax,” will lead to significant new taxes on workers, employers, and businesses. There is time for the public to share their testimony ahead of the next meeting of the Universal Health Governance Board (UHGB) by submitting testimony by November 16, 2026.
