| Collapse all
- Border Security: We must finish building the border wall and stop the invasion of illegal immigrants into our country. Human trafficking and drugs are destroying our nation and it is time to stop this. I will never vote for a budget that contains sending money to other nations for their border security when we won't secure our own.
- Personal Freedom: Our rights, guaranteed within the Constitution, are under attack by Democrats and some members of the Republican Party. I am running to stop one of those Republicans from further endangering our State and Country. This includes the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments of the Constitution.
- America First: I will put America First in everything I do as a Congressman. We owe it to our own people to take care of their needs first, and not that of Ukraine or any other nation right now. Our homeless Veterans and Americans deserve more than the slap in the face they have received from our government when that same government is sending billions to other countries.
I want to follow his example and serve this great nation with dignity, morality, and against all attacks to our Republic.
It inspired me to be a leader and to serve my country as a Patriot.
We must also secure our borders and ensure that everyone migrating to America is doing so legally. It is far past time to finish the wall and secure the border.
Senate should be 2 terms. This is 12 years total.

AMERICA FIRST Jason Beebe is a Husband, Father, Grandfather, Mayor, and a Veteran. As your representative for Oregon's 2nd Congressional District, I will bring America First values to the US House, and I will not be an establishment Republican. I am a concerned citizen of Oregon who knows that our current representation is not doing the job we expect them to do, so I am running to be your voice. We will not give up on this fight to save America from the evil that has plagued us. We will use the budget as leverage to secure our borders, finish our wall, and stop the insurrection at the southern border. As the Mayor of Prineville Oregon, I fought for citizens’ rights to medical freedom from the draconian rules that OSHA imposed on the people. I was the only mayor in Oregon to pass legislation that helped protect businesses from the OSHA fines, Resolution 1474. We will take the same vigor and resolute value to the office of Representative and will be a servant to the people of CD2. We stand for America First values. We stand for a secure border, stopping immigration, increasing American’s wages, and stopping the flow of illegal drugs. We stand for our Constitution, that it is a divinely inspired to protect our God given rights. We stand for the 2nd Amendment to ensure that all Americans can protect their family and their community. We stand for an America, whose citizens determine the direction of the Republic, and not an elite group of globalists. Vote Beebe, because the establishment isn’t getting it done. [3] |

Legal Immigration Everything that was accomplished under President Trump along the border is getting reversed by Biden. It is horrible. We were dealing blows to illegal immigration, drug runners, coyotes, and finally securing our border on the South. Listen, we are a Nation of Immigrants, but of immigrants that came here legally. We have always had challenges with how people come to America, but we can not just ignore the problem – let’s fix the problem. Our borders need to be secured because without a border, we are not a country. We do more background checks to own a gun, versus immigrating here. In the U.S. Senate, I would propose a brand new easy-to-follow set of requirements to immigrate here, then another easy to follow set of requirements to show a clear pathway to citizenship.
Respect of Personal Liberty We have freedoms, guaranteed in the Constitution, that shall not be infringed. Let me state that again, freedom’s guaranteed not maybe, it is a right. I very much support our right to bear arms, freedom of speech, right to assemble, heck I even agree with the freedom of the press, I may not agree with what they say, but I respect their right to say it. Do they respect ours? Tyranny creeps in when our liberties get eroded. We are sliding down the hill right now and we have to protect our rights at all costs. The culprits are in the White House, they are in the Senate. We need to remove them!
A Strong National Defense Peace through strength is what Reagan said, and it holds true today. We must stay strong against our enemies and perceived enemies such as China, Russia, Iran, and many others. I served in Iraq and still have friends there who I can trust. We do need some military reforms that will make us safer in the future. When I volunteered to serve it was out of duty to my country, but a lot has changed since then. We need to compete for young people to join the military again. President Trump’s policies on China, Iran, North Korea and more were working. Our economic power in the world is just as important as our military power, they go hand in hand.
The Right to Life My mother had me when she was just 14, so I really do believe in the right to life. Life begins at conception. In full alignment with that, I don’t believe that taxpayer money should go to subsidize abortions in our country. I look forward to working with the national and state organizations to push right to life policies forward. I will fight for those who cannot fight for themselves!
Strong Economic Growth Government should not be able to just shut down businesses and the economy within the United States without reasonable cause. A free capitalistic economy is what this country was built on, and I intend to vote for legislation that only adds to that idea. There is a strong push from Democrats against family-owned businesses. They have embraced the wall street elite. Small businesses are the backbone of America. I have been privileged enough to serve on the Prineville City Council for over 10 years now, both as councilor and now mayor. During my tenure, we have been able to attract huge companies and some smaller companies to Prineville, watch our local economy grow, and increase our tax base to provide services for the community. To help economies grow, incentives work. Not more government control. I will take this same approach in moving aside and letting businesses thrive. It is a proven economic development approach. I will promote our American companies and help them be successful both at home and abroad and give them an incentive to do business here in the US, and hopefully in Oregon as well. Oregon is well positioned for the future, but unless we have leadership that is focused on jobs and the economy versus raising taxes and forcing companies to move their money off shore like Senator Wyden we will not be successful. Responsibility to reopen economy:
Responsible Taxation & Debt Very simple, we spend too much money. The trillions that Biden is proposing is out of control. The amount of pet projects that gets dumped into this spending bills are atrocious. We can’t put all the debt (and associated taxes) on the back of our grandkids.
Energy Independence We need a real energy policy. We need to use natural gas, oil, woody biomass, wind, hydro, solar and more to have a robust economy. I will also support micro grids so cities can be more self-reliant, versus dependent on a large grid that can fail with much greater consequences. We have an abundance of natural resources in America. If used responsibly, it can be a great source of energy as well as jobs for Americans. Wyden, and the Democrats would rather see our natural resources locked up in wildernesses so it can burn every summer.[3] |
