Community Endorsements
We’re not just building a campaign. We’re building a community movement where everyday citizens finally have a real voice in Salem. Here are some of those local voices who have signed on to support Chad Parker for State Representative and are ready to turn away from the policies that got us here and put Optimism Into Action.
"I have known Chad for more than 25 years, dating back to our time together at the University of Oregon. While there are not many people from that season of life with whom I have remained close, Chad is one of them—and that says a great deal. He is one of the genuinely good people in this world: loyal, thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply authentic.
Over the years, Chad has consistently shown up for others, often in quiet and meaningful ways. From checking in on me after I returned from the war in Iraq, to generously supporting efforts to provide unhoused veterans with a dignified Thanksgiving meal through The Salvation Army, his character has been marked by generosity and care. What sets Chad apart is that he does not act out of a desire for recognition or political advantage. He does these things because it is who he is at his core. He truly loves this State and it's people.
Before this campaign, I could not have told you Chad’s political affiliation—and that, to me, is a strength. He is guided not by party politics, but by a sincere concern for the people of Oregon and a deep respect for the Constitution. Chad does what is right because it is right, and that integrity is exactly what public service needs."
