FEC reports are how the donor class chooses our candidates. I think that's stupid. So here's what happens behind the scenes of a campaign at the end of the quarter. Oh, and why we should focus much more on grassroots donors over corporate cash:

While I don't care what billionaires think of me, I do want unions + nonprofits to see us as a viable grassroots campaign. That's why I want to reach 10,000 individual donors in time for these reports. If you can send $1, you'll help us reach that goal:

Honestly, whether you secure a spot in congress or not, I think there’s so much value to exposing the things you’ll know/learn about politics that most people will never otherwise see. I just learned something and I realize there’s probably so much else

It's this transparency you're bringing to the political world that has me 100% supporting your campaign. Keep this up!

Glad to see young people running for office. I don't care about parties. I care about people's intentions and hearts. Good luck.

I usually avoid donating because of my job, but because of your previous work covering this madness you are effectively the first campaign I’ve ever donated to. First time ever today.

“Grassroots,” really? Have you even set foot in IL-9 yet?

I love this, and I am wishing you the best from Ohio. The people deserve to have someone like you representing them.

The transparency/education about the process is refreshing and important.

This is 2025 babe. Not 2016. Your talking points are so boomer-ish.

You want to be anti authoritarian, but at the same time you want to disarm marginalized people, so that only those in positions of power have a monopoly on violence. You should examine that stance.

PORTLAND, OR, May 4, 2026 — David Medina, a Washington County-based lifelong Oregonian, grassroots leader, small business owner, and candidate for Governor of Oregon, issued the following statement ahead of tonight’s KOIN-TV GOP gubernatorial primary debate. “I am disappointed that our campaign will not be represented on tonight’s debate stage, and I think the people of Oregon have every right to ask why. We have surpassed at least one other debate candidate in the polls, and we have built one of the strongest individual-donor bases in this race including what may be the third highest number of individual donors among all Oregon Republican candidates this cycle. For a grassroots campaign like ours to be left off the stage because of a corporate fundraising threshold is not a fair or accurate reflection of our real support on the ground,” said Medina. The Medina campaign further states KOIN TV failed to respond to multiple requests for political advertising rates and for equal opportunities for broadcast interviews on behalf of a legally qualified statewide candidate during an active election cycle while its station granted several broadcast and online opportunities to the other gubernatorial candidates. The campaign is preserving records relating to those requests and has sought FCC review of KOIN’s handling of candidate communications, political advertising access, and compliance with applicable political broadcasting regulations. The Medina campaign contends that Oregon voters are poorly served when a major television station excludes a grassroots candidate under a financial threshold while also failing to respond to inquiries regarding access to the public airwaves. “For the past several years, I have put my heart and soul into serving the people of Oregon because I believe this state is worth fighting for. It should not be possible for any PAC or corporation or a million dollar check from one big donor to put a candidate ahead in the game while grassroots voices are silenced. Whether on a debate stage or on the campaign trail, my mission remains the same. I will continue meeting Oregonians and speaking out for the hardworking people, families, and small business owners who feel left behind by a broken political system and government. Oregon is not finished. Our better days are ahead,” said Medina. Learn more at
