Let's be clear. Measure 120 failed because of failed leadership. Period. While Tina Kotek is skirting blame for soaring gas prices and leaning on outside experts to tell her how to run ODOT, I have a plan on day one to make ODOT accountable to Oregonians WITHOUT raising their taxes.

Let me remind you what we are really fighting against this November… Tina Kotek just told reporters she’ll be relying on “experts” to figure out how Oregon should pay for ODOT moving forward after voters absolutely REJECTED Measure 120. Reporter: “So tax increases are still on the table?” Tina Kotek: “I will be looking to those experts to really clarify what it is that we need to have as a state and give us options on how to pay for it…” Translation? Nothing is off the table. And to make it even more insulting, Kotek blamed Trump’s war in Iran and rising gas prices for why the transportation tax package failed so miserably with voters. No, Governor. Oregonians voted NO because they’re tired of being squeezed for more money while watching government waste, delays, mismanagement, and out-of-control spending continue year after year. Measure 120 failed because people cannot afford more taxes — and because voters no longer trust Salem to manage the money they already take from us.

If politicians tell you that they have to make your life more expensive and raise taxes to meet basic transportation functions—they’re lying. Raising taxes and the cost of living on Oregonians is an unconscionable and deliberate choice. We can protect road maintenance jobs, reprioritize spending at ODOT, and prevent Kotek’s layoffs—and we don’t need new taxes to do so. Read more:

Tina Kotek is afraid of what Oregonians can accomplish when we work together to push back against her bad policies and costly taxes. If she doesn’t like what voters have to say about her gas tax, she’s really not going to like what they have to say about her leadership this November.

Last week, I sat through a three-hour-long committee meeting listening to Oregon bureaucrats talk about all their priorities and how they want to spend your money. One of their top priorities? Getting Oregonians to drive electric cars and spending their money on electric chargers. Tens of millions of your tax dollars are spent every year to subsidize EVs and their charging networks. $70 MILLION for Pete’s sake. This is just one slide and one program - you know there’s more. Budgets are about priorities, and it's clear what Kotek and the Democrats' priorities are. When Kotek says Republicans don't have solutions for ODOT funding, she's either lying or needs to fire her Comms team, as they apparently don’t watch the news. All we had were solutions. She just didn’t like them. She'll say anything so she doesn't have to defend her misplaced priorities of funding EV subsidies over basic road maintenance, like plowing and paving. She'd rather raise your taxes than make hard decisions about her own priorities. Good thing it looks like Oregonians will have the final say on that.

It’s the first day of the 2026 Session and Tina Kotek and her allies in Salem are already scheming to move the transportation tax referendum to the May ballot. The truth is that they are scared to be on the same ballot as their stinkin’ $4.3B tax and fee hike. We should respect Oregonians and let their voices be heard this November.

DISHONEST: CNN's Abby Phillip and her fellow liberals dismiss Jason Rantz on Seattle Red for pointing out West Coast states have high gas prices thanks to record-high gas taxes. Phillip argues Russia and Putin were to blame for high gas prices in the Biden years, and there's NO EVIDENCE Democrats have driven up gas taxes to force Americans to buy EVs. Geraldo Rivera joins in, arguing the reason gas prices are high is b/c of corporate greed from oil companies

I have been censored and vilified for trying to expose the truth to the American people on COVID. Fauci and the COVID cartel should be held accountable for their miserably failed response to the pandemic.

While the Iran war rages on & prices keep rising, Republicans have decided to use this pivotal weekend to try to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. They're scared of running on their failed policies, so they want to rig the midterms in their favor.

Tina Kotek’s administration made $2.5 billion in accounting errors last year. That’s not a simple rounding mistake, that’s bureaucratic incompetence. And this isn’t just a one-off, it’s a pattern. In 2024, they made $1.8 billion in accounting errors. Tina Kotek wants to keep raising taxes on us, but her own administration can’t even keep its own books without billions of dollars in errors. It’s time to fire Tina Kotek. Read more:

Costs in Oregon are through the roof and families can’t afford 4 more years of Tina Kotek’s failed leadership: 🚨 4th highest gas prices 🚨 48th in housing affordability 🚨 5th highest food costs 🚨 9th highest income taxes 🚨 5th worst state for jobs Just last week she wrote an executive order that will increase gas prices by $0.20/gallon, raise utility costs, and make it more expensive to build homes. I’ll tear it up on day one.

Let’s make Florida the first state to abolish property taxes on homesteaded properties. Local governments have burdened their residents with higher property taxes and have failed to provide better services. I want you to keep your money in your pocket, plain and simple. Governor Ron DeSantis has been right on this since day one. The legislature needs to pass strong property tax relief.

There’s a reason Tina Kotek called me personally last December and tried to convince me not to run for Governor. Because she knows I’m the only candidate who can beat her in November. She knows Oregonians are ready to move beyond partisan politics and unite around real change. She knows my last campaign came closer than any Republican gubernatorial campaign in nearly 40 years, falling short by just over 1% and delivering the closest Governor’s race in over 70 years. And she knows I will make her a one-term governor. Oregon is ready for new leadership, new energy, and a Governor focused on results, accountability, and bringing people together. The choice is simple: me or another four years of Tina Kotek. Vote for me in the Republican Primary by May 19th.

#Trumpflation is hitting America and Florida like a boulder. Hard-working families are struggling to pay for groceries and now have to turn to food pantries for help. Trump promised lower prices on “day one,” and he failed to deliver. Grocery bills don't lie, but he does.

More taxes, more regulation, and more Tina Kotek is what’s blocking Oregonians from buying a home they love in a neighborhood they want to raise a family in. Tina Kotek set a goal of building 36,000 home/year. But she’s on track to reach less than half that amount, and by her own admission, it’s the best she can do. It shouldn’t take a permit just to get a permit. As your governor, I will cut taxes, not raise them. We will remove red tape, not add costly regulations. We will work to create jobs for home builders, not drive them away to Idaho. Our time is now. Let’s get to work.

This hurts so bad. To see a Princess disrespect her teacher requiring hands to be put on her shows you how poorly we as a community have fallen. Selfish Negroes will be quick to blame the parents. However, it’s the community that’s really at fault because we failed them both……

Donald Trump is a LIAR. He promised to lower costs on day one. But instead, grocery prices, healthcare premiums and gas prices have only gone up. He cannot be trusted to better the lives of the American people.

Not every campaign is driven by hope—some are driven by desperation. It is no surprise that many of National Unity Platform’s failed politicians have descended on Kalangala, hoping to impose yet another failed experiment on the people. Kalangala deserves focused, accountable, and development-oriented leadership, not recycled failures. I urge the people of Kalangala to reject politics of deception and stand firmly behind Hon. Idah Nabayiga, a leader committed to delivering real results. On polling day, let us vote wisely and secure a brighter future for Kalangala.

Tina KoTAX posted this to her Instagram account three hours ago as she rolls back into town from her Astoria beach trip. Meanwhile, she is ramming through the biggest tax hike package in Oregon's history on those of us who LABOR day in and day out just to afford her failed management of this state. Smug isn't strong enough of a word for this woman. Diabolical fits better. .Governor Tina Kotek hates you, me, and our beautiful state of Oregon.
