Occupation: Healthcare Administration

Occupational Background: Providence, 2012–Current

Educational Background: Aloha High School, Eastern University

Prior Governmental Experience: Newberg City Council, 2018–Current

PERSONAL:

In 2016 our family moved to Newberg to raise our three children and serve the community we love.

AWARDS:

  • Emilie Gamelin Service Award, Providence, 2017
  • Citizen of the Year, Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce, 2020
  • Values in Action Service Award, Providence, 2021
  • Community Heroes Award, Pamplin Media Group, 2021

WHY I’M RUNNING:

Politics has become a zero-sum game, separating friends and neighbors. Polarization has left little room for dialogue and debate. We need to come together and foster trust towards a common vision of shared values. That which divides us must not define us. “Meet me in the middle” does not mean the abandonment of personal conviction; rather, the invitation to conversation, recognizing our shared values, and compromising when possible.

PRIORITIES:

  • FREEDOM TO BELONG: Every person deserves affirmation to thrive as the truest form of themselves.
  • COVID-19 COMEBACK: We need rural economic solutions; empowering and strengthening our industries and resources.
  • ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE: Access is limited, cost is unaffordable, and healthcare workers are burned out. We need someone from the trenches to help reimagine healthcare.
  • AFFORDABLE HOUSING: We need bipartisan, non-metro-based solutions, allowing our children to live in our community in the future.
  • PUBLIC EDUCATION: It’s time to give our youth the education and support they need by revamping the funding structure.
  • REINVESTMENT IN PUBLIC SAFETY: We must upport law enforcement by resourcing mental health and addiction access, creating shelter for those experiencing houselessness, and equipping officers with the training they deserve.
  • SOLUTIONS FOR AGRICULTURE: Decisions should be made by farmers and farm workers in our rural community. It will take a member of the super majority to challenge the super majority for a seat at the table.

Occupation: Senior Education Policy Analyst, State of Oregon

Occupational Background: Interim Director of Legislative and Policy Affairs, HECC, State of Oregon; Assistant Policy and Budget Analyst, Chief Financial Office, State of Oregon

Educational Background: Stanford University, M.A. Education Policy, Organization, and Leadership Studies; Western Oregon University, B.S. Public Policy and Administration; Gervais High School

Prior Governmental Experience: Chair, Woodburn School Board; Board of Directors, Oregon School Boards Association; Congressional Intern, Washington, D.C. (Peter DeFazio)

Family and Community Centered

Anthony was the first person in his family to graduate high school and college. He knows the value of a dollar and that too many families are struggling with the rising costs of housing, healthcare and childcare. In the legislature, Anthony will address the cost of living, so families can focus less on getting by and more on building a better future.

Raised in this district – attending schools in Woodburn, Gervais, Brooks, and Salem/Keizer – Anthony knows our communities.

Investing in Education and Economic Opportunity

Our children are our future. As a father of three, and lifelong advocate for public education, Anthony has led initiatives to provide additional funding for K-12 schools and classrooms. In Salem, he will strongly support public schools, create more pathways to college, and invest in skills training programs.

“Anthony is a leader who can proudly represent and reflect HD 22. As the Chair of the Woodburn School Board, he led the district through some of the toughest times in the history of public education. I look forward to watching his impact on this district and the state of Oregon” – Representative Teresa Alonso Leon

Accessible and Affordable Healthcare

With firsthand experience navigating a complex healthcare industry through a family crisis, Anthony will fight for Oregonians to have access to quality and affordable healthcare.

Anthony and his wife Yadira live in Woodburn with their three daughters.

* I Will Reign In Crime.

TRUST. I know from experience, people whom live in fear of physical harm do not have the ability to improve their lives. I will fight for equal protection for all people.

First, we must uphold the equitable and fair enforcement of the rule of law, empowering law enforcement with the required resources to be better integrated into their communities. With the right resources, law enforcement can build trust. This will reduce crime, violence, and obstacles to progress.

* I Will Reign In Homelessness.

EMPATHY. In my visits to homeless communities, I have yet to see real empathy or compassion. I have only seen convenient and justified neglect. Widespread homelessness and aggressive panhandling is not respecting humanity.

It’s time to shut down homeless tent cities for more humane, compassionate, and respectful alternatives. Effective examples exist of multi-disciplinary approaches that truly assist homeless individuals. I will work to ensure that programs focused on individual care and treatment are funded and supported.

* I Will Empower Parents.

CHOICE. I believe education is a partnership between educators and the legal guardians. I do not believe it is a partnership between educators and the students without guardian participation.

Parents and legal guardians must have a choice in the education of their children, including the selection of the school that best suits their students’ needs. I will protect the parents’ and guardians’ right to guide their children’s’ education by supporting school choice. I will advocate for parents’ and guardian’s rights to determine where, and how, their education taxes are spent.

We know what works. We just need to do it. Elect me and I will.

Dear Friend,

Oregon has been through a lot in the last few years. COVID, Record Forest Fires, Record Heat, Stagnant Wages, Rising Housing Prices. All of these things and more have worked to push us apart, to isolate us, physically and politically.

Now, as we look to the east and have seen the looming threat of an escalating conflict in Europe, we are reminded that there is more that unites us than divides us. We all love our state and our country. We all love our families and our communities. We all love our children and we all strive to provide for them a better, brighter future. There’s only one way that we can make progress toward a more perfect state and a more perfect union, and that’s by working together.

I will be a voice in Salem that seeks to bridge the urban and rural divide, to listen to those who feel unheard. I will work to understand the views of all members of our community and will bring that understanding into the rooms where decisions are made.

My Priorities

  • 1 in 7 Oregon children suffer from food insecurity. Let’s feed them.
  • As climate change looms, renewable energy organizations are struggling to enter the market. Let’s remove those obstacles.
  • Renters are paying more for their housing while their wages are stagnating. Let’s support them.
  • The cost of living keeps going up, so should the minimum wage. Let’s help small businesses as we make the transition.
  • There are over 1,400 homeless veterans in Oregon on any given night. Let’s house them.

About Stan

I grew up on a small farm east of Roseburg. I learned the importance of performing a task and following through to completion. As a young boy, I was up at daybreak. My job was to move the irrigation. I learned about protecting our resources. As with all resources, water was to be used but not wasted. I learned to appreciate our natural resources. I was taught and still believe we should be good stewards of our resources. They are to be utilized to create jobs and recreation, but they are not to be wasted.

Those lessons I took with me later in life during my 20 years of running a small business. You have to be flexible, open to new challenges, and be ready to solve problems.

If I couldn’t handle the tasks of owning a business, my business would not have been successful. Yet our state leaders have failed to solve our major problems. I believe I have the knowledge and skills to help with the success of our beautiful state.

-Stan

Fighting for Community Safety

Our State Police force is seriously understaffed. Today we have fewer Troopers than in 1970-1990, but our population has grown by nearly 2 million. Yet some of our politicians want to “Defund the Police,” this is crazy. We need additional funding at all levels. When we call 911, we want a quick response. We must feel safe in our homes and hold criminals accountable.

Homeless Crisis

The present solution is to simply throw money at the crisis. It is not a solution, and it only perpetuates the growing problem. We need to address the underlying problems of mental health, substance addiction and provide job training.

BRING OREGON BACK

ELECT BILL LEDFORD

I am running for State Representative because I know what Oregon was like before Democrats controlled it. I have witnessed Oregon defunding the police, encouraging homelessness, enacting sanctuary cities, and supporting general lawlessness.

BILL LEDFORD

WILL DEAL WITH HOMELESSNESS

Current Democrat sponsored legislation (HB 4079) calls for a 3% sales tax on certain items. This tax would fund monthy $750 debit cards for the homeless. This bill does not address drug addiction and mental illness that plagues the homeless. This bill would make Oregon a destination for indigent people.

BILL LEDFORD SAYS NO

TO NEW TAXES AND SPENDING

Oregon is 4th in the nation in spending money per person and wants more of your money by imposing toll roads, taxing cars for miles used, higher gas taxes, and camera enforcement. Oregon has the longest DMV wait times in the nation.

COVID

SCIENCE, POLITICS, OR POWER

Oregon Democrat mandates are the most restrictive in the nation that have severly harmed many small businesses and many have been forced to close.

BILL LEDFORD

IS CONCERNED ABOUT SCHOOLS

The Democrats and our school boards are failing to educate our children in the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. The emphasis seems to be teaching divisive issues that are better left for parents. Politics should be left out of the classroom.

BILL LEDFORD

KNOWS HIS DISTRICT

Government over-reach must be checked to ensure that all economic enterprises are not compromised. Democrat sponsored (HB4002B) dictates to farmers how much they have to pay their workers.

BILL LEDFORD

STRONG CONSERVATIVE VALUES

These are the issues that I am fighting for. What are your concerns? Elect me to be your voice for change. If you agree, vote for me.
