The Candidates – 2024
I always say that you voting and making an informed vote is more important to me than voting for me. Many constituents do not take the time to research the candidates. Can you identify the candidates by their bios? If you want to know more detail about the candidates, you can find out all about #RussIsForUS here at RussIsForUS.com. I am not sure about the others, but you might try their websites.
Candidate #1 (C1)
C1 Dropped out of the race in Late February of 2024
Candidate #2 (C2)
C2 has worked decades as a small business entrepreneur/executive. They have hands-on, in the trenches, experience in multiple industries and vocational disciplines. In 2012 C2 was appointed to a local City Council, and ran for Mayor 9 months later. C2 won that election and 4 more by a nearly unanimous vote (over 90%), and are currently serving in their 10th year as Mayor.
As Mayor, C2 has ushered in more economic growth and infrastructure improvements than any Mayor in the history of the city. C2 is the only Republican Candidate running for Congressional District 6 in 2024 that has any experience as an Elected Official.
Candidate #3 (C3)
C3 has never held a public office. They ran for Governor in 2022 with a stated profession of Unemployed. C3’s 2024 candidate filing for Congressional District 6 also states “unemployed.” C3 filed their candidacy with the State of Oregon on September 15, 2023. As of February 22, 2024 they have not yet filed with the Federal Elections Commission (fec.gov) which is the necessary, Official and legally required filing requirement for this office.
Candidate #4 (C4)
On 3/23/24 #RussIsForUS received a threatening letter from the elite Mike Erickson through his expensive Lake Oswego Attorney. They demanded that changes be made to the #RussIsForUS Candidates 2024 Information page which was created on January 3, 2024. Regardless of certain false and slanderous allegations made by Mr. Erickson’s attorney (and getting my name wrong on their letter), they referenced certain items on this page that deserved clarification. The attorney also pointed out that I could be charged for making false statements even if I do not state his name specifically. Therefore, I decided that his name (originally “Candidate C4” on this page) should be specifically stated, and that all reference links to information I present should be available to the reader. You can see the details on this page.
Candidate #5 (C5)
C5 registered with the Oregon Secretary of State on the last day to file in 2024 (March 12, 2024). When I met C5 he told me that when he visited the SOS website on March 12 he did not see anyone running for CD6. He decided that he could not let that stand and signed up. After he completed his registration a screen appeared that showed three other candidates. C5 took one of my lawn signs when I met him at the Marion County Republican Party Meeting on March 21, 2024.
