About Us

The Oregon Way

Oregon Needs Trust. Oregon Needs Leaders.

The Oregon Way believes that families deserve safety, dignity, and the chance to prosper. In a time when division runs deep and trust in leadership feels broken, we are building a movement of unity — bringing Oregonians together around practical, commonsense values.

But unity requires focus. That’s why The Oregon Way directs resources with discipline to the close races in the Salem area and surrounding districts — supporting leaders who are ready to listen, solve problems, and put people above politics.

Our Mission

To win the races that decide Oregon’s future by concentrating on the closest contests across the state, with Salem and its surrounding communities at the center of the fight.

Our Vision

An Oregon led by leaders who serve first and govern with common sense. An Oregon where families are secure, communities are strong, and opportunity belongs to every generation.

Our Core Values

Family as the Foundation

Strong families are the roots of a thriving Oregon.

Work and Opportunity

Hard work should be respected, and leaders must ensure taxpayers get value in return.

Unity and Hope

Division weakens us. The Oregon Way stands for dignity, fairness, and the belief that Oregon can shine again as a place of opportunity for all.

Why The Oregon Way?

Because elections aren’t decided everywhere — they’re decided in the districts that matter most. By anchoring in Salem and the surrounding area, The Oregon Way ensures every dollar is used where it can tip the balance. Together, we are shaping a future where common sense leads, unity prevails, and Oregon thrives.

“The Oregon Way is about strong families, safe communities, and the promise that Oregon can rise again. By focusing on the close races — especially in Salem, the heart of our state — we are building a movement where Oregonians of every background stand together for commonsense solutions. This is how we protect what matters today and secure Oregon’s future for generations to come.”
