Dorchester: Carlson painted party leaders as out of touch

for it, depending upon where
you stand — don’t blame the
voters,” he said. “They’re not
in control, or haven’t been
until this year. Blame the peo-
ple who short-circuited legiti-

in order to preserve their own
prerogatives.”

Carlson said, which the

Dorchester President Tom
Simpson has described the
event, conceived by then-state
Rep. Bob Packwood in 1965,
as associated with the GOP but
aimed at the moderate-mid-
dle of the electorate, allowing
conversations sometimes miss-
ing from the Republican Party.
Delegates come of their own
volition to vote on candidates
and issues.
This year’s conference
included a conversation on the
effect of the Independent Party
of Oregon, now the third larg-
est in the state, and gun-owner
culpability for crimes commit-
ted with their weapons by oth-
ers. In the shadow of the recent
Malheur National Wildlife Ref-
uge occupation, attendees dis-
cussed who should own pub-

of delegates favoring county

A populist year

Oregon Republicans gathered over the weekend for the Dorchester Conference in Seaside.
of news site The Daily Caller,
declared this a populist year.
“This is a revolt of ordinary
voters against those who sought
to control the process without
their involvement,” he said.
Carlson painted the leader-
ship of both the Republicans
and Democrats as out of touch
with their electorate, leading
to the ascent of candidates like
Trump and Vermont U.S. Sen.
Bernie Sanders with their pop-
ulist messages. He said the
Republican establishment has
shut down debate on import-
ant issues like immigration and
trade agreements, issues being
raised by Trump.
“If you take a legitimate
concern and prevent it from
being aired, do you think it
goes away? Of course not. It
festers. It emerges in the form
of … wait for it,” Tucker said,
pausing until someone uttered
Trump’s name “… Donald
Trump, exactly right.”

Republican governor hopefuls speak at Dorchester
Pierce, Alley
get ¿ve minutes
to make case
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — Republican
gubernatorial hopefuls Bud
Pierce and Allen Alley spoke
in separate ¿ve-minute allot-
ments at the Dorchester Con-
ference Saturday, maligning
the one-party rule in Salem
and championing their ability
to change the dynamic.
Alley, who ¿led a day
before the March 8 deadline
to be in the May 17 primary,
has shaken up the Republican
gubernatorial nomination, in
which Pierce, a Salem oncol-
ogist who has largely self-
funded his campaign, has been
a clear front-runner since ¿ling
for election last summer.
“Ever since I entered the
race last September, I have
been ready for challengers in
the primary,” Pierce said in
a release after Alley ¿led. “I
don’t take Allen’s candidacy
lightly, but I am still con¿dent
that I am the right candidate
for this election.”
Both are trying to become
the ¿rst Republican
governor since Vic-
tor Atiyeh left of¿ce
in 1987, and the ¿rst
Republican to win a
statewide election since
2002.
Only Pierce and

the two main contend-
ers in the Republican
nomination, spoke at

nomic growth and a pristine
environment.
“When you go to Salem,
and you view the Democrats,
it’s a monarchy,” Pierce said.
“It’s an aristocracy.”
Instead of a CEO governor
or authoritarian strong man,
Pierce said, Oregon needs
good business practices in
agencies and leaders who min-
imize the government’s power,
handing it back to the people.
Pierce has raised more than
$1 million, about three-quar-
ters of it from his personal
coffers.
