Schools and parent rights.

Properly funded, accountable and supported policing

US production of energy and reducing inflation.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Chris Mann (R)

In the current climate of the country and what is happening I am so passionate about so much. I have a deep spot in my heart for veterans and the military, so what they are doing to our current military breaks my heart, and I would like to make changes to get them back on course to being the best they can be.

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

Chris Mann (R)

Jesus He sought out those that needed him the most. He never took the easy way out. He demonstrated through his actions what it meant to be a true servant of the people. Those are the traits I will use as a US Congressman serving the the people.

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

Chris Mann (R)

Integrity, morals, listening, responsibility, accountability, and humbleness.

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

Chris Mann (R)

I have a true love for people, and want to try to help everyone. I have developed and continue to work on my ability to be a good listener. My morals and integrity are important to me. Therefore I will not vote for things that do not align with those values. I can separate my personal and professional lives. When it is time to negotiate for the American people I can set aside my emotions to make the best decisions that serve them.

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

Chris Mann (R)

To be a servant of the people. Not to think I have all the answers and to Surround myself with people with expertise and other fields.

What legacy would you like to leave?

When I leave this earth I want people to say he left it all on the table. He never betrayed himself or his Christian values. And if I am so blessed to have made some legislation that will better the world we live in today.

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

Picking berries during the summer. 3 months

What is your favorite book? Why?

SpongeBob SquarePants He is always looking at the bright side and wakes up everyday with a positive outlook.

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

Chris Mann (R)

Imagine Me by Kirk Franklin

It is a song about having hope, to trust in the Lord. Having the ability to overcome the feeling of disparity, of not being good enough.

No matter how desperate things are there is hope. We can change the direction of our lives. We are not alone.

I want to be a beacon of hope for others, to provide hope in a time of darkness.

Much like the state of our country now I am to be that beacon for Americans.

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

Chris Mann (R)

Earlier in my leaf I struggled with alcoholism. Luckily I never hurt or killed anyone because of my irresponsible actions. I have overcome that and I’m proud of where I am today. This has also provided me with a better understanding of people with addiction issues.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Chris Mann (R)

To be honest, currently they do not possess much that makes it unique. It is totally divided, and it’s all about party as opposed to being about the people. In a perfect world it would be able to sit down and work together to further make this a better nation.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Chris Mann (R)

No I do not. Politics has made out to be this really complicated title. The main things that make up working in politics, is the ability to work with others, understand such things as the law, logistics, finance, and business. They need to understand what is important to the family dynamic. Those are basic human skills and to often politicians are only versed in the law and have not faced many difficulties prior to going into office. We need more people who are well rounded in many areas that current Americans ignore every day

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Chris Mann (R)

The media not reporting and being truthful to the citizens they are supposed to be serving. I personally feel they are the cause of the division in this country and perhaps even the deaths of many.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Chris Mann (R)

I would love to be in charge of oversight. I feel our money is being spent without much scrutiny and therefore being wasted. Working with the military and veterans would be another area I would like. I also would like to be in charge of the energy and climate.

If you are a current representative, why did you join your current committees?

Chris Mann (R)

NA

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Chris Mann (R)

I think being I have not held this position yet it is very hard for me to decide if that is a correct term limit. Until I win this election I would think a three-year term with three terms might be something to look at.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Chris Mann (R)

I do believe there should be term limits. Currently there is talk of a 5year term. I would not be opposed to that unless a better option came about.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Chris Mann (R)

Being I have been paying more attention over the last 10 years, I would say Senator Manchin. He is the only one that has been willing to stand up against his party line to do what’s right for the people. Who knows, maybe once I get there and medium I will change my mind.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Chris Mann (R)

I think one of the most memorable was about a daughter of a mom who got the vaccination at the age of 15. She already had college offers and is now basically living at Dorn Becker‘s hospital trying to recover.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Chris Mann (R)

Compromise is always necessary. But not at the expense of integrity, morals and what is best for the people.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Chris Mann (R)

It is my hope to stop needless spending. And fight every single bill that comes in front of me. It must be 100% legitimate and have every dollar accounted for.

General election race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Oregon in 2022. Information below was calculated on April 6, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2022, 46 candidates filed to run for Oregon's six U.S. House districts, including 26 Democrats, 19 Republicans, and one independent. That's 7.7 candidates per district, down from 9.2 candidates per district in 2020 and 8.4 in 2018.

This was the first candidate filing deadline to take place under new district lines adopted during Oregon's decennial redistricting process. Oregon was apportioned six seats following the 2020 census, up one from the five the state was apportioned after the 2010 census.

Two of the six districts were left open, meaning no incumbents filed to run there. This included the newly-created 6th District and the 4th District, where incumbent Rep. Peter DeFazio (D) announced his retirement. This marked the most open districts in Oregon since at least 2012. The only other election year since 2012 with an open seat was 2020, which had one.

The four incumbents who filed for re-election all drew primary challengers. At least one Democrat and one Republican filed in all six districts, meaning there were no districts contested by just one of the two major parties at the time of the filing deadline.

Sixteen candidates filed to run in the new 6th District, more than any other. This number includes nine Democrats and seven Republicans.
