No matter where you fall on the political spectrum, Oregonians benefit from a strong Republican party. Even in a state that regularly elects Democrats to top posts, a capable GOP can play a vital role in providing accountability and shaping government to better serve all of us. Whether it’s championing rural concerns or injecting fiscal prudence in spending plans, Oregon’s Republican party has historically shown how opposing voices can make a meaningful difference.
