With just weeks until Election Day, and no heads up debate for this seat, the best way to see a contrast between me and my opponent was just released. It is the full questionnaire the Oregon Capital Chronicle recently published on their site. Side by side, the answers make the contrast plain and clear.

I encourage everyone to read it and judge for themselves. The answers show who is focused on growing the economy and putting this district first, and who is doubling down on the same approaches that have produced the rankings and the frustrations we already know.
My priority is simple: grow the Oregon economy so we can actually fund the things that matter, strong schools, safe roads, and real opportunity for the families in West Linn, Tualatin, Rivergrove, and Durham. We cannot tax our way to better results. Growth is the path. And every vote starts with one question: how does this affect the people who live in this district?
That local focus matters to the people who live off Tannler Drive in West Linn. They are currently living with the impact of my opponents yes vote on HB4037 that stripped their right to a public hearing on a residential development in their own back yard.
That is the opposite of managing the status quo. It is the opposite of accepting the current trajectory and looking for more of the same policies that got us here. Oregon still has enormous unused potential. Our kids, our businesses, and our communities are capable of far more. What we need is a representative who believes that and is willing to act on it, regardless of what the party or Governor wants.
Read the questionnaire. Compare the answers. Then decide who will focus on real growth, who will put the 37th first, and who will treat the next session as a chance to turn things around instead of continuing the path that brought us to this point.
The election is close. Ballots are in hand. Oregon is waiting to be believed in.
Vote Chad Parker. Lets Put Optimism into Action.
