The reason I filed for the Oregon Legislature can be summed up in two words: "Lynn Lundquist." I know Lynn, and he might be a nice guy, but from my point of view, he's been a poor representative for District 59. Eastern Oregon needs a different perspective in Salem. For a number of months before I filed, I was encouraged to run by friends in the agriculture and natural resource industries who followed Lynn's performance as our representative. He went along with virtually any proposed new tax or fee increase... including the Governor's huge gas tax, higher vehicle registration charges, and even a monthly phone fee! I still wasn't sure about running until I received a newsletter from his office in which he took credit for the return of folks' tax "kicker"... even though he sponsored a bill which would have essentially killed the kicker altogether! That did it. So, I've got myself in a race against a politician who is now calling himself a "conservative"... the same man news editors say is hard to distinguish from our liberal Democrat Governor, John Kitzhaber! Even though Lynn Lundquist is the reason I filed ... he's not the reason I'm running. In the coming weeks, I'll make the case for my candidacy by telling you exactly where I stand and about rny commitment to better government. I'm sure you'll like what you hear. In the meantime, if you've got questions, please feel free to call me at home, (541)934-2275. lÜMfaENS for State Representative
