Our city cannot progress with a partisan council. We need to bring balance back to Bend’s city government, focus on core services, and work hand-in-hand with Deschutes County to solve tough issues.

As Democrats try to move the transportation tax referendum to a lower-turnout primary, join tonight’s virtual town hall to learn more about why this move is bad for Oregon and how YOU can keep using your voices to demand lawmakers respect this process — and the more than 250,000 Oregonians who signed petitions to put this on the November general election ballot. @LucettaElmer @BruceStarr @BoshartDavisAg @DavidBrockSmith

She just doesn’t get it. @TinaKotek just signed Executive Order 25-29 “Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Advancing Oregon’s Clean Energy Future,” which will drive up utility costs, raise gas prices, and increase the cost of building homes by adding layers regulations Oregonians cannot afford. You and your family deserve better.
The fix isn't just optimism—Audit and strip out decades of regulatory burden. For every new rule, let's take two out! #LandUse Reform (#SB100): Unlock land for #housing and jobs. #Infrastructure: Make it a budget priority to unblock affordable housing.

Well, there you have it. @ORSenDemocrats, led by @TinaKotek, just added $4.3B to your tax burden. They proved they don’t give a 💩 what Oregonians think—or about the affordability crisis they created. You deserve to weigh in on this tax hike.

The implementation of HB 3991 must be paired with stronger legislative oversight and a commitment to fiscal responsibility. This is not a partisan issue but a fundamental expectation of all Oregon taxpayers.

The new revenue is funded by several significant increases that will directly impact the cost of living and business operations
