Campaign website

Harbour’s campaign website stated the following:

Beliefs

I support the Following:

  • The Constitution
  • Religious Freedom
  • The 2nd Amendment Rights
  • Medical Freedom
  • Right-to-Life
  • Legal Immigration
  • Term Limits
  • Right to Work
  • Social Security Repair
  • Campaign Finance Reform
  • A Balanced Budget


Concerns

We need to work on the following:

  • The Economy – we need energy independence, to balance the budget, get out of debt, bring down inflation, prioritize water to our farmers and ranchers, and fix our supply lines.
  • Education – School Choice is vitality important. The money should follow the child (this includes homeschooling). Additionally, parents must have a say in their children’s education. School vouchers will help ensure this happens.
  • Homelessness and Crime – this is a problem that should be resolved at a local level, however, as a representative I can help with bringing finances and other resources to the district.
  • Border Security – we need to immediately secure the border and stop all illegal crossings. We must go back to immediately returning those who crossed over illegally to their country of origin. We must deal humanely with those who came here illegally but they must never receive citizenship.
  • Election Integrity – Every state and territory should conduct full forensic audits of the 2020 election. Appropriate action should be taken following the results of the audit, including prosecution for anyone who have violated the laws. Voter rolls need to be cleaned to guarantee only citizens are voting.


Action

I will introduce legislation or sponsor existing legislation on the following issues:

  • Combat sex and human trafficking
  • Assist the victims of sex and human trafficking
  • Help states to find solutions for affordable housing crisis
  • Help states and localities find solutions to homelessness (which will require dealing with the multifaceted causes of homelessness – mental illness, drug addictions, lack of resources, etc.)
  • To make the tax cuts permanent
  • To end the practice of “let it burn” forest management that has allowed fires to go unchecked threatening the lives of our citizens, their livestock, and land
  • To bring back Oregon’s forests to local control
  • To make congressional retirement and health insurance options the same as private citizens and to end any other perks or benefits that congress has granted itself that the private citizens do not have access to
  • To fix the problems with Medicare
  • To correct issues with the justice system, similar to the First Step Act and encourage the states to do the same with the state justice system
  • To repeal and replace Obamacare, while protecting coverage for those with pre-existing conditions.[2]

Expand all | Collapse all

At the age of twelve my parents moved our family to Estacada, Oregon. I attended College in Idaho and spent one semester in Washington, D.C. After college, I immediately went to law school. In 2004, I returned to my home town and started my own law practice. In 2016, I decided to close down my law practice for multiple reasons, including a small town was not providing enough clients for a stable income. In the fall of 2016, I began working as an office manager for a local business owner, who owned multiple rental properties and began caregiving for my mother who had a bad fall. That business owner moved out of the country in 2018, so I began a health and fitness coaching career I had lost weight on a program and wanted to share it. During this time, I continued to assist a few other clients and caregiving for my mother, who is continuing to get better. Recently a couple of people have said I should run for Congress. I have prayerfully considered it and decided that now is the time. I am running to bring common sense and actual citizen representation back to this district.
  • We must combat sex & human trafficking and assist the victims
  • We must drain the swamp and rid the government of corruption
  • We must make the tax cuts permanent, end tax loopholes and fix the forms for filing
Rebuilding the economy, saving small businesses, restoring and adding jobs, ending sex and human trafficking, assisting the victims of the trafficking, tax cuts, balanced budget, ending the "let it burn" practice of forest management, repealing and replacing Obamacare, fixing Medicare, correcting the issues with the judicial system, and having senators and representatives retirement and health care the same as private citizens.
I would like to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Jesus in the ultimate example of how we should live our lives. He was filled with love and compassion. When He spoke to people, He Truly listened. He did not tell people what to do, He showed them. He wasn't afraid to speak the truth and tell it like it is. He exposed corruption, self-dealing, and hypocrisy. He stood up for what is right no matter the cost. He stood up for the oppressed and exposed the injustices. He showed us that our priorities our first our relationship with God and second our relationship with others (that we are to treat others as we want to be treated). Both concepts were revolutionary.
I believe the characteristics that are most important are integrity, honesty, boldness, compassion, and the ability to listen to your constituents.
I am a trained lawyer and I am used to fighting for and representing the interests of my clients. In Law School I learned how to analysis the laws. I have training in leadership through the Ford Institute Leadership Program, which is an influential program that benefits the community, so I become a facilitator and teacher of the program for two different years as a Community Ambassador Trainer. During college I interned for a semester in Washington, D.C. and studied policy. I have always been interested in and followed politics, so what many people find frustrating and annoying I have found fascinating. I am a problem solver as many people have come to me to help solve their personal issues. I keep my promises and speak the truth.
My favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. Ms. Austen was a fabulous writer who could capture the issues of the day like no other. Her characters are timeless. She pointed out injustices (like daughters being unable to inherit) in a way that was captivating.
It can be but it is not necessary. Many Representative have been their for decades and yet the problems are not resolved. Their experience has failed to get the job done. Sometimes it is necessary to send new people in who are willing and able to do the hard work to solve the problems.
I believe that China is one of the greatest challenges we face, as the fact that they allowed the virus to spread around the world without warning and attempting to cover it up demonstrates. Not to mention all the intellectual property theft, placing spies in our universities, trade imbalance and more. We still also have other countries that pose a threat to our security, such as Iran, North Korea, and Russia.

Additionally, we must deal with all the government corruption. We have the added difficulty of it being extremely hard for Congress to investigate when many of the congress people are corrupt themselves. Just look at the number of Senators and Representatives who sold stock after closed door meetings on the virus, in order to make sure that they did not lose money like the millions of Americans who were about to lose on the stock market.
Also, we have the budget, deficient, and debt. We must balance our budget while at the same time begin to pay off the large sums of debt that we have accumulated.

Finally, we must secure our borders and deal with immigration. We must find a comprehensive plan for dealing justly and compassionately with the millions of illegal aliens who are already in this country. While we may give a pathway to citizenships for those who came here as minors after a vetting process, we should not ever give citizenship to the adults who flagrantly flaunted our laws and came here illegally. We may give those adults a permanent residency after they pass a vetting process.
The 2 years was placed in the US Constitution by the Founders. The Representatives are the ones who are supposed to be the closest to the people and represent those living in their districts. They are to be in communication with their constituents and by having the election every 2 years we guarantee that contact.
