Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

My name is Michael, and I was born without arms because of the Chernobyl accident. Ever since that fateful destiny changed the course of my life completely, I have used my feet like you use your hands. Despite my life debilitating disability, I hold a full time job with an Oregon Medicaid company, I take care of three cats, and I live independently as best as I can with the help of my caregiver. I even bike, if you can believe it, and logged 10,868 miles on my adaptive bicycle in 2020.

https://youtu.be/uKR46mbIw5w is my YouTube video of how I live my life without arms. https://youtu.be/ujjnnFFBPtM is a very good interview of my campaign and its platform.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I want to expand Oregon's Health Plan to all Oregonians making under $93,600. OHP needs to cover all Dental & Vision for all members as well as name brand drugs when generics do not work. Members whose pets serve as service/companion animals will have their veterinary care provided and paid for by OHP. In addition, OHP will classify all special custom bikes made for cyclists with physical/mental challenges as medical equipment and will pay for these as motorized wheel chairs. Paid sick time will be added to OHP as members should not have to choose between their health and job security.
Rents are way too high and need to come down along with applying for and moving in associated costs. With the end goal of middle to low income earners 30% of their income going to rent in mind, rents must be capped immediately for a studio at $750, 1 bedroom at $1000, 2 bedrooms at $1,500, and $500 for each additional bedroom. All tenant rents must include utilities as well as high speed internet. Pets will live for free without any pet security deposits or monthly rents. All application fees will be refundable and nonrefundable administrative fees eliminated. Every Oregonian has a right to affordable housing. This will be added to the state constitution.
I want to open up all freeways and highways to cycling traffic as well as increasing the safe minimum distance to pass a cyclist from 3 feet to 6 feet. I will enforce the yielding laws as too many motorists do not yield to cyclists. I will expand cycling/pedestrian infrastructure to the point an Oregonian can get by without a car. In addition, all public transit will be fare free with the goal of 24/7 transit service to further steer away from this car culture mentality. All cars sold in Oregon must be electric/hydrogen by 2035 with out of state drivers paying a carbon tax if their vehicles are not electric/hydrogen.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

For better or worse, COVID-19 is here to stay, and so we must adapt to living with it and the percentage of the population that refuses to get vaccinated.

I propose a vaccine freedom passport that will allow the vaccinated to return to as normal of a life as can be MASK FREE outside AND inside. Those vaccinated that choose to wear masks will be allowed to continue, but imposing masks on the vaccinated universally is both unfair and counterproductive. Those that remain unvaccinated(the immune compromised and those for valid and legitimate medical reasons who cannot be immunized excluded) do so at their own choice and peril. They will need to wear masks indoors at all times outside of their living quarters. I encourage employers/companies/businesses/schools to mandate vaccines for all in their organizations. I also support businesses/restaurants/gyms/movie theaters/large indoor venues/grocery stores refusing entry to unvaccinated individuals.

I also deeply care about the homelessness issue and would like Oregon to be the first state in the country to eradicate it in it’s entirety. With red ceilings and truly affordable housing in place, I will convert abandoned run down properties into housing for those who cannot afford rats. Large structures like malls and manufacturing infrastructure no longer in use slates for demolishment will instead be repurposed into housing. Many of the homeless are there due to mental issues and whatnot. I will expand mental health under OHP.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Bernie Sanders.

He is a true man of the people who has been crusading for a more progressive and equal society for all.

Elizabeth Warren.

She is in the very same vein of Sanders but much more direct policy focused with her crusade for the well off & 1% to pay their fair share.

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

I have been called the Berinie Sanders of the west coast, an honor I'm honored to have.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

The most important characteristic for an elected official is to remain consistent and carry through on his or her promises. As a governor, I will use all available means to me to lower rents across the state, expand OHP to all Oregonians, and eradicate homelessness once and for all while upgrading the current cycling/pedestrian infrastructures. If this means using unconventional means to enact this progressive agenda for the people then so be it. I am sick and tired of elected officials making grandiose promises, and once elected, they beat around the bush compromising at nauseam to the point of the final resolution being so watered down it’s laughable.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

I am a very driven person who does not take no for an answer and does not let my life debilitating disability hold me back. Despite not having arms, I biked 10,868 miles in 2020 all while working full-time. When Kroger terminated my employment with them wrongfully over my adaptive bike, I fought back and sued them. My lawsuit made national headlines because here you had an individual with a physical disability who didn’t have to work and could easily be on disability welfare, but instead, he does work and despite that faces discrimination from the likes of Kroger. I will take that fighting spirit and can-do attitude with me to Salem to help realize the dreams of millions of Oregonians who want affordable healthcare, affordable housing, and sustainable transportation that is both safe and environmentally friendly.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

The core responsibilities of this office are actually taking care of the residents of Oregon and not in a perpetual campaign mode pandering to lobbyists and big money donors in preparation of the next election. I am prepared to upset the establishment to the point that it will cost me a second term if that means the peoples’ agenda is enacted.

We must lower rents.

We must ensure every Oregonian has a place to call home.

We must provide truly universal AND affordable healthcare.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Oregon led the nation in becoming the first state to set rents at 30% of a renter's income, eradicate homelessness and offer truly universal healthcare.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

I was sheltered mist of my pre adolescent life being adopted by very Evangelical Baptists who viewed anything/everything outside of Christianity to be immoral and amoral. The first historical event I remember that I couldn't be hidden from is Y2K and all the madness and pandemonium around it.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

EchoStar customer service for Dish Network while I was in juvenile foster care. I had it for 6 months?

What is your favorite book? Why?

It's a series actually---Harry Potter.

In many ways I relate completely with Harry Potter. While my parents never died like his, I never met mine leaving us both orphans. We both had tyrannical terrors for families although I’d argue mine was more extreme and much darker than Voldemort (No pun intended!). We both went to our own special schools-Harry to a magically enchanted wizarding world and I to 2 Christian boarding schools. While Voldemort was Potter’s villain, my not having arms has been mine. Despite our life defying challenges and mission impossibles, we both have overcome them. Like Harry, I was surrounded by a fortress of friends and those who genuinely cared about me whom without I wouldn’t be here today. I cannot thank my caregiver enough for everything he does to truly make my life magical. Then there are my friends from Pittsburgh. The one started out as my counselor at the juvenile foster group home I was at after being emancipated from my abusive adoptive parents. After I left we stayed in touch becoming very good friends where he actually became my first caregiver. Along the way, I met my muggle version of Hermione whom he dated. Though not as brainiac as her, my friend sure made up with her sass and drama. We’ll call her D who from the onset just knew I was gay even though I denied it (I always knew I was gay but due to then societal norms remained closeted.) She showed me it was ok to be me and value life despite my horrific history up to that point like Harry’s. Then there’s Sue and Rich whom I met at the group home. Sue was a like a big sister for us residents. We stayed in touch after I left and she really broke me into politics having me volunteer for the Kerry campaign. She also was the one who nudged me to get my BA in polysci.

We all know how Harry Potter ends, but my story has many chapters yet left in it. While I can’t waive a magic wand to eradicate homelessness or lower rents, I can do those as a governor.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Why Harry Potter of course!

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Bonfire Heart by James Blunt

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

While living without arms certainly is a struggle, it most definitely is not the end of the world! Where there is a will there is away and along that way, there is a bike with infinite determination. I encourage you to watch some of my videos so you can see the possible in the impossible:

https://youtu.be/GeHItoyir-E

As you can see in my videos, everything you do with your hands I do with my feet. From cutting a pineapple to clipping my cat’s claws, I do it all. Oregon needs a governor who has faced untold adversity, but despite that is as strong willed as and optimistic as ever.

A governor is the top executive authority in his or her state. What does that mean do you?

The buck stops with me ultimately. I will not be afraid to use any and all resources and legal moves/maneuvers to enact a truly affordable and progressive vision for Oregon. I have fought my entire life, and I will take that fighting spirit as governor and stand up for the disenfranchised, unheard, discriminated against, under represented, and just every day Oregonians who are fed up with politics as usual and want to see action not more talk.

Governors have many responsibilities, which vary from state to state. Which of those do you personally consider the most important in your state?

HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING HOUSING

OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL OHP4ALL

Different states require governors to have different degrees of responsibility for the state budgeting process. If it were your choice, what do you believe is the appropriate degree of gubernatorial involvement with this process in your state?

As direct as possible with input/feedback from mayors, county commissioners, Oregonians from all walks of life.

In most states, governors have the power to make line-item vetoes. If that is true in your state, what would be your philosophy for how and when to use this power?

I will use it judiciously but will use it as the need arises.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

One where we work collaboratively but don't water down a bill so much in that grand pursuit of bipartisanship.

What do you love most about your state?

I love just how progressive Oregon .s

I love the mild winters that allow so many of us cycling die hards to continue pedaling our passion. I biked 10,868 miles in 2020. I could not have done that without our warm winters. https://youtu.be/lc_B3Qt6FOg is me biking on my adaptive bike without arms.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Reigning in the sky high out of control costs of living while holding the 1% accountable and responsible for their fair share of taxes they manage to evade.

Tell us your favorite joke.

It's not so much of a joke as it is the reality of how I will never ever be caught sitting on my hands as a governor. I will be too busy enacting the peoples' progressive agenda to have any time to shake hands. I a after all short handed.

Under what circumstances should the governor of your state be able to use emergency powers?

Any and all.

I am running for governor because this state needs and deserves a well-informed, ambitious individual willing to advance Oregon through present-day obstacles towards a reinvigorated identity. With an all-hands-on-deck attitude, I will be a leader of bold action by expanding OHP to all Oregonians making under $93,600, instituting rent caps to reduce cost of living for Oregonians spending greater than 50% of their hard earned income on housing, fortifying the cycling pedestrian infrastructure, making it easier and safer to commute within our urban communities by bike or walking.

My plans for upgrading Oregon’s infrastructure are transformative and progressive. If I need to use emergency powers to accomplish this, then so be it.
