As a father, husband, veteran and small business owner, I have become very frustrated with how out of touch our elected officials are in Salem. Rep. Val Hoyle has continuously shown her willingness to put the people who fund her campaigns above the people in Junction City and other parts of the district. I grew up in Junction City and graduated from Junction City High School in 1990. I've lived here for over 35 years, along with my time in the United States Navy. I've seen how my neighbors are struggling to find work and our schools have to do more with less money. My wife and I have 5 children so we understand these struggles firsthand. Rep. Val Hoyle seems more concerned with protecting her well-connected "friends" than working on commonsense policies that will have positive impacts in our daily lives.
I've been a partner at Gunrunner Arms since 2013, a local gun shop that serves law-abiding citizens who are seeking arms for the purpose of personal security and protection and/or recreation. Our mission is to promote safe gun practices, personal security and assist Oregonians who want to exercise their constitutionally protected right to own a gun. I, myself, have served our country to protect these rights along with many of my veteran community members. As a Chief Sponsor of Senate Bill 941, Rep. Val Hoyle has violated the oath she took to uphold the Constitution of both our Federal and State government. SB 941 restricts the rights of lawfully-abiding gun owners, and I simply cannot support an elected official that actively violates her oath.
Concern for my community has led me to become more involved at the local level. I want to help those in need and I've found that public service in my community is the best way to do so. I am currently the Chair of the Planning Commission in Junction City and serve on the Budget Committee as well. I work with American Legion, American Paralyzed Vets of Oregon and Habitat for Humanity. This puts me in contact with neighbors who have real struggles and concerns for the future. By sponsoring and supporting legislation that a majority of Oregonians oppose or that strips us of our constitutionally protected rights, Rep. Val Hoyle has proved she is disconnected from her voters and deserves to be recalled.
