Candidate forum
Bahlen highlighted the following themes in a candidate forum on October 11, 2024:[2]
| “ | Dan Bahlen, a Native American Libertarian candidate in the 4th Federal Congressional District of Oregon, felt compelled to help our country after watching the Biden-Trump debate in June. He felt the country was in trouble and needed him at that time. His innovative approach to help our country address all the threats we are facing– a potential economic collapse, a large-scale global conflict, and climate change. Tackling these three issues is the most important thing, and he found it unfortunate that we have political polarization and gridlock in a severely dysfunctional U.S. federal government system. His unique approach starts with the homeless crisis and the culture of poverty and will assist with all our other national crises. With the way his approach is crafted, he aims to gain support from both Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C.[3] | ” |
