  • "Amy believes that every human life is a gift from God. She is 100% Pro-life. Amy has a long-time relationship and past support/endorsements from Oregon Right to Life, the National Pro-Life Alliance and Pro-life fighter Governor Mike Huckabee.

  • "Sadly, Oregon is one of the highest taxed states in the nation. Oregon democrats and the federal government have a spending problem and grossly abuse the use of increasing taxes to cover their negligent mismanagement." (amyfororegon.com)
  • "She believes that smaller government and lower taxes are the keys to strong economic growth. As a city councilor and state advocate she fought tirelessly for lower taxes, less bureaucracy and eliminating government overreach into our pocketbooks, especially when we are facing the highest inflation and increased costs. This is a very important kitchen table issue and continuing to raise taxes on our businesses and families will only result in the loss of revenue as people and business flee the state. She believes the solution is to lower taxes so that we can increase jobs and financial security for all residents and businesses in the state." (amyfororegon.com)

Amy has many years of proven history and a voting record for supporting law enforcement while ensuring that they have the tools and recourses for their own personal safety and the safety of our communities.

Bidens national spending is out of control, reckless and irresponsible. We are on a slippery slope to socialism while he uses climate change as a scapegoat. Amy supports conservative spending with eliminating waste and irresponsible spending and will work hard to place the financial future interests of America and our children as a top priority."

Wrong on many levels." (x.com)

  • "America has massive inflation, and you don’t have to be an economist to realize how Bidens ridiculous financial decisions have created the downward spiral of our economy. Inflation is nothing more than another tax on the American people. Inflation is at a 42 year high and risen to over 9%, yet radical democrats continue to drive our country into the ground. Liberal elites are out of touch with our communities and the American people. It’s time for real solutions from a strong conservative leader like Amy who truly understand what it means to struggle and sign a paycheck before they pay themselves." (amyfororegon.com)

  • "STOP the price-gouging of Big Pharma!" (x.com)

Millions of illegals pouring over our borders with estimated numbers by the end of 2024 to be 15 million illegal immigrants including gotaways." (amyfororegon.com)
  • "Make no mistake, the aggression in the Middle East is Iran and we teed them up. Houthis declared in their slogan in writing in 2003 "death to the U.S. death and Israel, curse the Jews and victory for Islam". There have been 27 recent attacks in the Red Sea on shipping and commerce with well over 130 attacks on our American military assets. It’s time for a reset strategy in the Middle East. The U.S. maintains its right to self defense, we should defend our forces and the free flow of commerce in all water ways. I support showing strength while we double down through enforcing sanctions. Sadly nothing will change until the Biden administration confronts Iran." (x.com)
  • "Israel is heavy on my heart. America must stand with Israel, we must not allow the hateful narratives to become the norm. It has been over 100 days of families missing hostages." (x.com)
