As we come together to celebrate the birth of our great nation, I am reminded of the core values that every that American should be able to quote from memory:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
This is why we celebrate Independence Day.
On this day, our nation’s best and brightest decided to put their all on the line. “The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,” closes with their serious and well-considered commitment: “…we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
This is what makes America different. This is why America is worthy of all our efforts.
Our battles may seem different but they are very much the same. Today, as was true 250 years ago, the hungry, influential and powerful elites, backed by their well-heeled bureaucratic ministers routinely engage in adventurous regulatory overreach and power grabs.
Holding state level agencies accountable will be a major priority at the Secretary of States office. Conducting comprehensive reviews is essential to ensure that agencies and executive offices are operating efficiently, delivering services effectively, and adhering to the statutory limits set by the legislature.
Moreover, maintaining public visibility and transparency throughout the auditing process will foster trust and confidence in government operations. These principles are at the heart of my campaign for Oregon Secretary of State.
Today, I am reaching out to ask for your support.
For nearly 30 years, my wife Diane and I have cherished our life in Klamath County, raising our family and becoming part of this wonderful community. Our life experiences have fueled my commitment to ensure that the government remains wholly attached to the principles of our Constitution!
I am inspired by the spirit of independence exhibited by those who went before us. My goals are to champion transparency and accountability in Oregon’s government. Our campaign is about giving power back to the people of Oregon, both rural and metro. Just as our forefathers fought for independence, we must fight to ensure our government remains accountable to its citizens.
This Independence Day, I ask you to join with me in this fight.
Your generous contribution will help us spread our message.
