The Case for Independence

"The parties in power have polarized this nation, pandered to the most extreme factions, and convinced us that our neighbors are our enemies if they think differently — all to stay in power. Their allegiance is to party, not nation. I refuse to bend my knee to a party or to be complicit in continuing the status quo."

The Core Conviction

"I intend to represent the People — not a party — by, for, and of the People."

Where He Stands

Priorities for Oregon's 6th District

Reform & Accountability

Term limits, campaign-spending limits, and a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United — getting corporate money and special interests out of politics.

Affordability & the American Dream

Getting the cost of living under control — spending reform, protecting Medicare and Social Security, and real transparency, cost, and accountability in healthcare.

Strong, Sane Defense

A military without peer through technology, training, and cutting archaic waste — and no unnecessary entanglement of our forces except when there is truly no other option.

The Race

Why It Matters

  • Representation by, for, and of the People — answerable to voters, not party bosses, PACs, or high-dollar donors.
  • A combat veteran fighting for VA funding commensurate with the sacrifice — and real oversight of the executive branch.
  • Tearing down the barrier to entry — it shouldn't cost millions to run for a U.S. House seat.
The Opportunity

Oregon's 6th is held by a party-line incumbent. Jason offers a practical, common-sense independent — an Army combat veteran, professor, and business leader beholden only to the electorate.
