Position #1
• I believe government
should protect private
rights and individual
liberties, not undermine
those rights through
intrusive, overreaching
regulations.
• I believe in local con-
trol over federal control
whenever possible.
• I support 2nd
Amendment rights and
am in favor of a Baker
County ordinance to
protect them.
• I pledge to uphold the
Constitution of the
United States of
America and the Oregon
State Constitution.

A wall of water came
down in the Burnt River
Canyon area on May 5
after widespread thun-
der and lightning storms
swept across northeast
Oregon. Reports were of
one logging camp hit up
Dark Canyon with no se-
rious damage or injuries.
Photos of Dark Canyon
and French Gulch show
the mud and debris,
which were cleared off
the next day. Without the
trees and other plant life
formerly up Dark Can-
yon prior to last year’s
devastating Cornet/
Windy Ridge Fire, ero-
sion and fl ashfl ood situ-
ations are expected to
be continued problems
in such areas.
