I am glad to see Rep. Knute Buehler in the race for Oregon governor simply because Gov. Kate Brown has not done anything positive for the state, is too far left, seems dishonest, and wants to raise our taxes in more than one way.

First, Democrats have not given up on some sort of sales tax. Second, Democrats want to tax you on the home you live in by taxing you on the full market value of it, which will double your property taxes. Third, Democrats will implement the horrible idea of placing tolls on the major highways in our state. In addition, gas taxes will continue to increase, and so will your vehicle registration costs.

I'm sure they have many other ideas to separate you from your hard-earned money and continue to grow big government. Vote Republican.
