Union County Republicans endorses Jason Beck for Imbler School Board Seat #5. Read Jason’s platform!

“I am is a sixth generation rancher, a husband, and parent of two boys who are in  kindergarten and fourth grade. I am hoping to help get Imbler School District back on track. I believe that parents & guardians of the student body should have a voice concerning the operations of the school. Decisions that directly affect the families should never be made behind closed doors. I want open and transparent communication. I cherish the advantages that comes with living in a rural community and would like to see more decisions made at the local level. I hope to encourage leadership that has the ability to see through bureaucratic nonsense passed down by clueless officials who have no understanding of what life is like in rural Oregon.”

“School board elections are just as critical to win as county commissioner seats and legislative races, and I am proud to see a quality candidate in Jason Beck step up in his community,” said Alex McHaddad, Union County Republicans Chair. “Together with fellow candidate Tim Phelps for Imbler School Board #3, Jason will make sure that Imbler and Summerville students get the quality education they deserve.”

Just another reminder that Republicans believe in a color blind merit based society where ethnicity doesn’t matter. Democrats don’t believe in that at all. This twitter post records the truth. Remember this come election day!

Delegates from the Union County Republican Central Committee joined fellow conservatives to vote for the next generation of Oregon Republican Party leaders on February 20.

Senator Dallas Heard beat incumbent Mayor Bill Currier to be elected Chair of the Oregon Republican Party.

Josephine County Commissioner Herman Baertschiger beat Umatilla County GOP Chair Suni Danforth to be elected Vice Chair.

Becky Mitts, legislative staffer to Rep. Mike Nearman, won re-election as Secretary over challenger Senator Chuck Thomsen.

Senator Dennis Linthicum was elected new Treasurer by acclamation after challenger David Darnell, CD5 GOP Chair, withdrew his candidacy and endorsed his opponent.

“New members of the Executive Committee discussed their campaigns with me early on, and I am confident that they will work well with Union County Republicans to keep common sense conservatives in office here as well as grow GOP representation in the Legislative Assembly,” said UCRCC Chair Alex McHaddad. “And as a millennial myself, I’m very excited to see the Party choose a member of my generation in Senator Heard to lead us into the future.”
