Likely; no political record.Do you know if he has an established pro-gun record in politics? If not, I'll mark him as "Likely Pro-Gun"

He seems like a respectable guy and he was a Marine, and we stick together. However, nothing in his official statements say anything about repealing, reforming, or expanding gun rights in Oregon. Obviously not getting worse is better than what Brown has planned, but that's not really a pro-gun position.FWIW, I sent a question to Dr. Pierce, via his web site, addressing some of those concerns. In particular, I asked several questions to get his opinion on HB4147 type issues since he had touched on those. Will let everyone know what he has to say.
Yes, just leave it as a post - since I opened the thread, I'm the only one that can edit the listings.
Thanks for the info, I'll get it added. Do you know if she is running unopposed? Or has anyone else declared?
Senator Ernie Roblan (D) Dist #5 is anti-gun he voted for SB941. Rep. David Gomberg (D) Dist #10 is anti-gun he voted for both SB 941 and HB 4147
From my end of Washington County:
Representative District 34: Ken Helm (D) should be considered Anti-Gun. He doesn't have much of a record, being a first termer, and his focus is on the environment. He did, however, vote for SB941 and never responded to inquiries.
Senate District 17: Elizabeth Steiner Hayward is well on record as an anti voice and doesn't respond to inquires .
Alan Deboer (R) is running for State House District 5, against Pam Marsh (D)
He was Mayor Of Ashland for one term as well as a city council member, as is Marsh currently (Sandra Abercrombie (R) dropped out when she learn Deboer was running). He's just filed, and I haven't seen a position on guns from him, but I he's a moderate, and in his own words "Democrats would be better off to have me as a Republican" and that his voice in Salem would be a benefit to both parties. . . . So I'm going to say he is a) a RINO, and b) in all effect (when it comes down to his vote), is likely anti-gun based solely on my observations. I haven't found a website for him yet, but if I see something different, I'll post. He's just not much of an alternative in my estimation, and not a person wanting to stand for something, just an opportunist.
In trying to find a website or two that aggregates candidacy information, so far I've found 'balletpedia' which has been updated recently, so it might prove to be a resource for candidates. I'm sure once all the filings are published, this info will be readily more available.
Yes, it's quite a bit to process. I think whenever possible, if people who post candidates here could follow up by directly asking the candidates in their district where they stand on gun control (if it's at all unclear) and come back to update their post, it would be helpful. That's what I'll try to do when I find some contact info or a website.I've got one link that tells me everyone who has filed, but it doesn't list their positions. I'm hoping we can go off of more than just their statements, but where possible, confirming those that have voted for or against gun control in the past (if applicable to the candidate). I appreciate your assistance in gathering this data. I'm finding out just how many candidates there are across the state - it's a lot of information.

All the democrats voted for the gun bill, except 3 I'll get there names as soon as I check the OFF site.

Here is a link to a blog that gives a blow by blow report of what was happening on filing day: http://www.reaganknopp.net/liveblog/
