I’m not your typical candidate and this isn’t your typical candidate’s site. This site is me. It was written by me. It’s how I talk, it’s my sense of humor, it’s MY political beliefs. It hasn’t been edited for grammar or content, or to appeal to the voters for votes. OK... I have to say, my wife helps me “a little tiny bit” make sure what I write comes across as what I’m trying to say. This is more input than content editing making for more accurate communication, but still all my words.

Before you decide to write me off as “crazy”, or to anoint me the next “ROTKAUU” (Ruler of the Known and Unknown Universe), please take some time to get to know me. Get a feel for my personality and my politics, then decide if you can trust me as your candidate. This first page is a snippet. There’s plenty more within.

I’m tired of not knowing my political candidates until they get elected and we find they had three babies with three women. Or they took money from some organization that suddenly got a huge government tax break or contract after the candidate got elected. Or worst of all, they make promises to get elected then keep only 20% of those promises...AND WE HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO ACCEPT THAT!

As a “Zero Dollar Candidate”, I believe money is controlling the decisions being made in our government rather than our best interests. So I won’t accept money from anyone. And I’ll spend as little of my own money as possible. Our votes should never be for sale. And your elected officials should represent only you, not those they owe some kind of debt. With me, you know my decisions are based on your best interest, not on who I owe. Doing what’s right because it’s right, not because I’m told to do it. I’ll do it during my campaign, and as Governor.

In Oregon, you know what’s going to happen come time to elect a Governor. We get the Democrat. Every election year Lars Larson and the Republican party tells us...”this is our year, this year we have the right candidate and the mood in the state is right. We’re going to get a Republican Governor this year.” Then what happens? We get a Democrat.

Mr. Democrat, we need conservative leadership in this state to avoid becoming bankrupt like California. Mr. Republican, we need a Republican candidate who isn’t a cheese-ball (not my words), spouting the same old losing right wing rhetoric (not my sentiment, Oregonians in general) that blows elections cycle after cycle.

Allen Alley can’t beat a Democrat. Chris Dudley, no matter how much money he raises or how cool being a former Blazer is can’t beat a Democrat. Face it Lars...I’m right. Naming one of these guys the Republican candidate for the general election is a waste of time and effort. I’m the only Republican candidate who can beat a Democrat in the general election.

“Riiiiggghhhttt. You’re a nobody.”

I’m one kick ass nobody who’s going to come out of nowhere with a plan for Oregon that’s going to blow your mind. I don’t need money. I don’t need fame. If you can handle a candidate that isn’t a boring schmuck and has some off the wall ideas that will save our state and give Oregonians everything we want and deserve, stick around. If not, GO DUDLEY!! (He has the most money)

And by the way, I’m a life-long Independent, running in the Republican party (not something I’m really happy about. I’m not a fan of either party) because you’re either an insider, or you’re a loser. Don’t judge me by my party or lack there of. Judge me by my personality, how I live my life, my political beliefs, and what I can do for you and the state.

Please read on to find out more about me and how we can make Oregon the best state in the nation.

No, this isn’t a pretty website. I’m a “Zero Dollar Candidate”. I won’t spend money on fancy websites.
