Rugged Individualism 🇺🇸 MAGA

Ballots are hitting mailboxes in Oregon. Our vote-by-mail system has delivered safe, secure elections for over 25 years, and even with President Trump trying to dismantle it, we are not going backward. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Be sure to cast your vote by May 19.







PORTLAND, OR, May 4, 2026 — David Medina, a Washington County-based lifelong Oregonian, grassroots leader, small business owner, and candidate for Governor of Oregon, issued the following statement ahead of tonight’s KOIN-TV GOP gubernatorial primary debate. “I am disappointed that our campaign will not be represented on tonight’s debate stage, and I think the people of Oregon have every right to ask why. We have surpassed at least one other debate candidate in the polls, and we have built one of the strongest individual-donor bases in this race including what may be the third highest number of individual donors among all Oregon Republican candidates this cycle. For a grassroots campaign like ours to be left off the stage because of a corporate fundraising threshold is not a fair or accurate reflection of our real support on the ground,” said Medina. The Medina campaign further states KOIN TV failed to respond to multiple requests for political advertising rates and for equal opportunities for broadcast interviews on behalf of a legally qualified statewide candidate during an active election cycle while its station granted several broadcast and online opportunities to the other gubernatorial candidates. The campaign is preserving records relating to those requests and has sought FCC review of KOIN’s handling of candidate communications, political advertising access, and compliance with applicable political broadcasting regulations. The Medina campaign contends that Oregon voters are poorly served when a major television station excludes a grassroots candidate under a financial threshold while also failing to respond to inquiries regarding access to the public airwaves. “For the past several years, I have put my heart and soul into serving the people of Oregon because I believe this state is worth fighting for. It should not be possible for any PAC or corporation or a million dollar check from one big donor to put a candidate ahead in the game while grassroots voices are silenced. Whether on a debate stage or on the campaign trail, my mission remains the same. I will continue meeting Oregonians and speaking out for the hardworking people, families, and small business owners who feel left behind by a broken political system and government. Oregon is not finished. Our better days are ahead,” said Medina. Learn more at MedinaforOregon.com





As governor, I won’t tolerate policies that excuse crime or allow lawlessness to continue unchecked, including when it involves criminals here illegally. Oregon doesn’t just need a Republican governor, we need one who will stand firm, restore accountability, and push back against the extreme policies that are putting our communities at risk.
