My name is Ciatta Thompson, I’m running for the Oregon House of Representatives here in District 33. I live in NW Portland and work downtown at a hotel and it’s clear to me that we need a bridge to common sense here in Oregon. I’m originally from New York, born to working class parents. My father grew up on the streets of Brooklyn before it was cool to live in Brooklyn. My mother is from Monrovia, Liberia. She grew up a bit more sophisticated. Her family had political connection which allowed her to work for the Liberian government. My parents met while she was on vacation here in the US and proceeded to date for a year across oceans. When my mother came to marry my father a year later, they had their wedding over a weekend and by Monday, she was starting a new job. After my birth, my grandmother came from Africa to take care of me. A few years later after my father’s death due to complications with drugs, our family moved out of New York City. And kept moving every few years due to my mother’s career in the travel industry. These are the people that raised me. They raised me to work hard, be a positive contribution to my community and be a good Democrat. And I did. I was a Black lesbian two time Bernie Bro. I knocked on doors for Obama’s first campaign. Clinton’s second term was my first time voting. So how does the Democratic Party lose someone like me? The answer is simple: Portland red-pilled me.
  • 1. Results Over Rhetoric Oregonians have been promised compassion and progress—but delivered chaos. I’m running to replace slogans with outcomes: real treatment beds for addiction and mental illness, accountability for taxpayer dollars, and policies that actually restore safety and dignity to our communities. Good intentions aren’t enough. Results matter.
  • 2. Local Control, Common Sense Northwest Portland doesn’t need one-size-fits-all mandates from Salem. I trust local leaders and communities to solve local problems—on public safety, homelessness, and quality of life. My campaign is about returning power to the people closest to the problem and letting practical solutions replace ideological overreach.
  • 3. A Working-Class Voice Who Walked Away I didn’t change my values—the political establishment did. I’m a former lifelong Democrat who left a party that abandoned working families, ignored public safety, and refused to course-correct. I’m running as a Republican because Oregon needs leaders willing to tell hard truths, challenge failed policies, and put families, workers, and neighborhoods first—no matter the political cost.
I’m passionate about policies that restore safety, stability, and dignity to everyday life—especially for working families who feel abandoned by the system. Oregon’s failure on addiction and mental health reform is why I’m fighting for real treatment capacity, an end to enablement, and accountability for every taxpayer dollar. I also care deeply about public safety and local control. Communities should have the authority to address crime, homelessness, and quality-of-life issues with solutions that work locally. Finally, I’m driven by working-family economics—lowering housing and childcare costs, rewarding work, expanding skills and trades training, and helping families build secure lives. Government should make life easier, not harder.
