Most exciting. Most precarious.

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, We've been saying it all year, and now the national press and DC political prognosticators have caught on: This race is key to who controls Congress, and it's going to be close. VERY close. We're picking up steam, John. Will you chip in $5 now a…

Alek’s “dumb mistake”

Val Hoyle for Congress     Alek still doesn't get it, John. First, the news broke: The article details how Alek Skarlatos joked about choking women to death during sex, and that he repeatedly "liked" posts from teenage girls in bikinis on Instagram. We pointed out that a man wh…

Who’s behind those attack ads

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, Let's talk about Kevin McCarthy's SuperPAC slush fund, also known as the Congressional Leadership Fund. CLF is Kevin McCarthy's main weapon in the battle for control of Congress. He's raised nearly $200 million to spend on this election, and he h…

There’s no easy way to talk about this.

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, We need to talk about our opponent, Alek Skarlatos, and his dangerous behavior towards women and girls. This isn't just about him saying the Supreme Court should "go for it" and overturn Roe v. Wade, or that he wants to defund Planned Parenthood …

It’s about to get a lot tougher

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, There are three things I need you to know as we reach our end of quarter deadline at midnight tonight. 1. House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy is flooding the airwaves in our district with $600,000 worth of dishonest attack ads – that's right, …

🚨🚨$450,000 SPENT ON ADS AGAINST ME🚨🚨

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, All along, we've been talking about how Alek Skarlatos is propped up by national Republican operatives looking to spread their MAGA agenda here in Oregon. We have breaking news on that front: House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy is spending $45…

Keeping Alek Skarlatos away from women’s bodies

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, Earlier this month, I shared with you a headline about Alek Skarlatos that required a trigger warning for sexual violence. The article explains in graphic detail that Alek Skarlatos joked about a woman who died from sexual violence, and that Alek…

High stakes, John

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, A few days ago, Mariah told you about our goal to raise $10,000 in online grassroots donations by midnight on September 30. As of this morning, we're still $7,393 short of reaching that number. Will you chip in $3 today to get us closer to our goal?…

Coming to Oregon

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, My family has called Oregon home for more than 20 years. When we moved here, I was working in the bicycle industry and I had three job offers at the time. We could have moved to Pennsylvania, to Colorado or to Oregon. The offer from Burley Design…

This isn't funny, Alek

We always knew it was coming

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, The Republicans in Congress are now saying the quiet part out loud. This week, Lindsey Graham introduced a bill to ban abortions nationwide after 15 weeks. He's already promised that if Republicans take control of Congress in November, his bill w…

Yes, he really said that

Skarlatos: A 🐺in 🐑 clothes. A liar.

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, When my opponent, Alek Skarlatos, ran against Peter DeFazio in 2020, he ran as a diehard MAGA Republican and Donald Trump acolyte. That didn't work out for him, so now Alek's running away from his record in this campaign as he pretends to be less…

MAGA Republicans descending upon Oregon

Our ground game is the key

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, Our Republican opponent, Alek Skarlatos, is flooding the airwaves with a bevy of lies. He's lying about his support for the minimum wage. He's lying about his stances on the environment. He's going all in to hide his MAGA extremism from Oregonian…

The line in the sand drawn at Charlottesville

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, Five years ago, an ugly mix of Neo-Nazis and Klansmen invaded Charlottesville, Virginia under the "Unite the Right" banner. They carried tiki-torches and Confederate flags. They chanted racist, antisemitic slogans. And one of their members drove …

Confirming what we’ve always known

Don’t believe everything you see on TV

Val Hoyle for Congress     John, Our Republican opponent, Alek Skarlatos, is airing his first TV ad of the campaign. The onslaught of MAGA cash flooding into Oregon has officially begun. The reason Alek can get up on TV before us is because he's raised over $2 million from deep-…
