I am a wife of 43 years, a mother of 6, grandmother of 9. I have been politically involved in my community since I was 16, holding many elected positions over my adult life.
I am co-owner of Dave Roses Trucking, coach the boy's tennis team at Molalla High School for 19 years, teach a seminary class at 6am, wrote a newspaper column for 11 years, and a piano teacher for 44 years.- Restore safety to our communities with a "three way approach" to the interconnected situation with mental illness, drug abuse, and crime
- Develop realistic, compassionate, comprehensive immigration reform. That is the job of Congress, not passing that responsibility off to the President to dictate by executive order
- Give educational choice, power, and control back to the parents.
I have the strong ability to attack problems without attacking the people presenting the problems.
Restoring federally controlled lands back to the states the belong to
Being $30,000,000,000 is a crime against our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and is a weak position to be in., and the House Committee
Because all of the federal and state fire fighting crews were already fighting bigger fires in other parts of the state. The power was intentionally shut off to the city, and Molalla was in the direct path of the fire, with maybe 2 days before the city was going to burn. Enter the Red Neck Firefighters Brigade. Men from the farms and the timber workers loaded up their heavy excavating equipment, filled up their water trucks, grabbed their hand tools and headed up to the fire lines. Citizens donations started pouring in, and local citizens organized meals and money donations to support these brave citizen heroes. Our homes were spared because of the courage and determined spirit of the citizens in my hometown. I have never been more proud to be a part of such a community.
A: He had no body to go with
What do you call a pile of cats?

Roses’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Providing a valuable education for the next generation is the responsibility of any decent society. The best way to achieve that goal is to give parents control of their child’s education. Covid school lockouts allowed millions of parents to realize what was being taught in their children’s schools; and many were disillusioned. Parents gained confidence and started taking an active role in their child’s education. They realized that there are many great options available to them outside of the public school system. The one size fits all days are gone, and we need to support and encourage alternative education choices. We owe our children an apology for the abusive mask mandates we forced upon them.
Allowing millions of people to illegally cross our borders has put our nations security at risk. Open borders allow unvetted persons into our country, increasing both drug and human trafficking in our communities. The process of legal immigration into the US protects immigrants from exploitation and abuse, while also protecting the citizens of the United States. If we can secure our borders, we can solve many of the residual problems that come with it. Over-crowded classrooms, higher medical costs, shortage of low-income housing, lack of basic resources to help our own struggling citizens through tough times. America has always been a country that tries to do what is right and fair. People who disobey the law should not be allowed to cut in line ahead of those waiting to immigrate here legally. For years Congress has kicked the immigration issue down the road. Comprehensive, realistic, compassionate immigration reform needs to be addressed now! Expecting the President to issue executive orders, in lieu of working to solve the problem legislatively, is a dereliction of duty.
Everyone I know has a story involving rising crime in their community; this was not the case 2 years ago. A small construction company in rural Clackamas County has been robbed multiple times in the past 2 years. Advice from law enforcement was “we encourage you to get a gun to defend yourself.” The woke mentality that police are the problem has led to cuts in resources and staffing shortages. After a citizen detained a thief from Home Depot in Oregon City, he was told by their security that they do not even call police any more, because they do not respond. A ‘three way approach’ recognizing that illegal drugs, mental health and crime are interconnected could be the best way to restore safety and security to our communities We are all paying the consequences in higher prices and more aggressive criminals.
The constitution gives states individual rights and powers to govern themselves without interference from the federal government. These rights have been slowly reduced over the years and need to be re-instated. 53% of Oregon is federally controlled land. Are we not capable of managing our own forests, deserts, grazing lands, and natural resources? Yes we are, and we should! Are we not capable of educating our children without the NEA dictating what is best for our kids? Yes we are, and we should! Do we need the federal government dictating to us how citizens of Oregon conduct their elections and cast their votes? NO! Elections are a state by state process that the federal government has no business interfering with except where the constitution allows.
If our freeways start being tolled, it will place an inequitable financial burden on those who can afford it the least. With skyrocketing inflation as a result of failed democrat policies, putting tolls on the freeways, that the working class use to get to to work, will plunge many families into poverty. We should be allowed to vote on such a huge change in our infrastructure and taxation.
I am appalled that thousands of our military men and women, and other federal agency employees, have been discharged or reprimanded for refusing to receive the Covid vaccine. I call for the immediate reinstatement of these personnel and that they be given back pay.[2] |
