| Collapse all
- It's time to end the one party political system in Oregon. Ben is a fierce advocate for individual rights and will bring powerful energy and balance to Salem politics.
- Since 2020 we've endured the most insane social experiments imposed by radical leftists with super majority powers at the Oregon legislature. Our democracy thrives with checks and balances. The last check remaining in Oregon is YOU. It's time to elect people like yourselves to represent you in Salem and restore sanity to our great state.
- Ben is proudly endorsed by Oregonians for Medical Freedom, PAC, Oregon Firearms Federation, PAC, Restore Oregon Now, PAC and Parents Rights in Education, PAC.
