John — the threats to our democracy are very real — and they are here in Oregon.

A new report from HuffPost just exposed how GOP candidate for governor Christine Drazan is tying herself to multiple far-right extremists, including a militia leader, a financial backer of the January 6th insurrection, and a Q-Anon conspiracy theorist.

Here are just a few highlights from the troubling new reporting:

• Drazan has accepted $70,000 from “conservative megadonor” David Gore and his wife. Gore is “a major funder of the far-right Tea Party Patriots, which helped organize the Jan. 6, 2021, rally in support of former President Donald Trump that led to the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.”


• Drazan isn’t just taking money from far-right extremists, she’s campaigning alongside them. “Drazan recently featured B.J. Soper, a far-right, anti-government militia leader, as a speaker at one of her campaign events.”


• Drazan also openly admitted she supports GOP Oregon Senate candidate Jo Rae Perkins, a far-right, Q-Anon conspiracy theorist who attended the January 6th insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Instead of standing up for what’s right, Christine Drazan is courting the support of election deniers, insurrectionists, and MAGA loyalists.

The choice is clear this November. Tina is the only candidate Oregonians can trust to protect our rights and freedoms – especially in this moment in history, when our democracy is under attack.
