We have to talk about Christine Drazan

  John — we need to talk about Tina’s opponent, Christine Drazan. Drazan ran and lost against Tina last cycle, but if you need a refresher, here’s a reminder of her terrible track record: Sided with Donald Trump on deploying the National Guard to Portland Supports a dangerous abor…

When D.C. fails us, I will always step up

I’ll be a fierce advocate for access to safe reproductive health care services, no matter the national landscape.   John, I know how to protect Oregonians when Washington, D.C. fails us, and I'll never give up the fight to keep our reproductive rights in place. When President Trump …

our first major test 👀

  Today’s the day, John — Tina’s first fundraising deadline since her re-election launch. We want to show Tina the strongest report possible tomorrow, so we’re asking one more time: Will you donate any amount to help us re-elect a governor who will stand strong against Trump’s atta…

Doing the basics

  John,  My team asked me to reach out about our first fundraising deadline since I launched my re-election campaign. Asking for money is my least favorite part of the job, and I wouldn't do it if I didn't have to. My team and I are focused on the fact that winning next November wo…

I want to hear from you

  Hi John,  I know my team and I have been reaching out to ask for donations a lot over the past week, and for good reason — it's really important we have the resources we need to hire staff and connect with voters across the state to win re-election. But that's not what I'm asking…

  John,  Hope all is well in your world. By now you’ve probably seen the news: It's been one week since I launched my re-election campaign, and we're already off to a great start! We have 11 months until Election Day, so it's going to be a sprint to get this done. And we need your…

Big money is lining up against Oregon

Help Tina prove she has what it takes to win.   John,  This is what Tina is up against.  He just dumped a staggering $3 million into the Bring Balance to Salem PAC to elect Republicans in Oregon. That shatters the last record Knight set with his donations. And it’s not even an ele…

Oregonians reject Trump

Donald Trump and his hand-picked Republicans aren’t wanted in Oregon.   John,  Donald Trump is looming large over the 2026 election, and not in a good way for Christine Drazan and Oregon Republicans. A new poll demonstrates just how angry voters across the state are about Trump’s po…

Tina will keep on fighting for you

  John, Christine Drazan has been attacking Tina left and right since launching her campaign for Governor, saying Tina’s been “focused on Pennsylvania Avenue, not Main Street.”  That’s pretty rich, considering Drazan is in lock-step with Donald Trump and the far-right. Meanwhile, T…

Don’t let Drazan undo our hard work
