Campaign themes
2014
In a biography submitted to Ballotpedia, Goberman stated his campaign promises. If elected to represent Oregon in the U.S. Senate, he said he would, "I[n] a few months promise to help to create a few millions jobs, reduce debt by a few trillions dollars, improve heavy traffics on all US HWYs and in cities, save nation a few billions dollars on the health care and etc." [8]
Goberman said his political philosophy was to be honest: "...be a Real Representative of We the People, and fight for them. Be an Advocate for the Constitution of the USA," which he believed had been abused by federal officials charged with the document's legal protection.
