Gabriel Buehler grew up in the Tigard area and graduated from Tigard High School. He served in the US Marine Corps from 2002-2006. After two tours in foreign wars, he returned to Tigard and became a journeyman plumber. As he worked for Portland Public Schools, he became disgusted at the bureaucracy in the school system. He stood up for the kids insisting on sanitary conditions. After much grief he was finally able to install working faucets in all the 94 schools, creating more sanitary conditions after seventy years of neglect. After being let go over the mandates Gabriel wanted to continue fighting against the bureaucracy. He volunteered to be the Washington County Political Director for Free Oregon. Unsatisfied with the political representation not listening to him or any one rally together with him he decided to run himself. Gabriel intends to restore balance in Salem by stopping government overreach into citizens lives, by ensuring that the people come first.
  • I stand to protect all inalienable rights not limited to; Right to medical freedom – The government should prevent discrimination based on medical choices. Right to self-defense – The right to defend myself and family against dangerous laws and policies. Right of parents in education – Our children have the right to attend public education without being politically indoctrinated. Right of free speech – In public spaces dissenting opinions should not be denounced as hate speech or threatening and silenced. Right to move freely within our country – Free movement should not be inhibited by medical discrimination. Right to religious freedom – Government has no right to regulate time matter or place in the way you practice your religion.
  • The safety and wellbeing of citizens is a top priority. Polices of the last few years have contributed to one of the sharpest increases in crime in Oregon. The policies are destroying beloved neighborhoods and communities. Law enforcement should be fully funded and held accountable by the people. I plan on working with responsible DA’s and constitutional sheriffs to create a more functional and reformative justice system that focuses on serving the people.
  • After Oregon’s three decades of one-party rule, government has expanded beyond its means. Now requiring taxpayers more of the burden of an ever-expanding bureaucracy. Tax dollars are squandered and wasted on bloated government without serving the people. Small businesses the backbone of Oregon continue to shoulder most of the burden caused by the ever-expanding government. I want to repeal tax laws that are causing businesses to flee our state and hurt citizens. The people should vote on any taxes or fees levied against them for the government that serves them.
The one-sided representative in Salem has caused the Republicans to take drastic measures, such as denying a quorum. Such moments reinforce the urgent need to restore balance to Salem. This is the only way to create conversations and allow all voices to be heard. The skewed democratic representation has made countless promises to listen and give all a voice. Yet, there is nobody to hold them accountable, without balance they just bulldoze through totalitarian and one sided polices. For example, Democrats’ policy on education has created one of the worst graduation and dropout rates in the nation. The one-sided answer is legislation that drops the requirement to pass a basic skills evaluation to graduate.
