ABOUT GINA MUNSTER MOORE

My family and I moved to Northwestern Hillsboro back in 1974. We landed on a small 8 acre farm in Helvetia. This was when Hillsboro had addresses like Route 61-S. We finally were able to buy horses, chickens and ducks. I grew up taking part in horse 4-H. I started my first year in the Hillsboro School district at West Union Elementary. I was a Washington County Junior Rodeo Court Princess in 1978.

I have two grown daughters and own a small business in Hillsboro.

FIGHTING FOR WESTERN WASHINGTON COUNTY

We must have a strong voice for our Forest Grove, Cornelius and West Hillsboro area. I will not be “just” another vote for the Governor or Democrat leadership, instead I will work to represent the people here, not Portland.

SUPPORTING SMALL BUSINESS

Our community is made up of a large amount of small businesses. I will be a fierce advocate in helping them be successful. Helping them keep employees, lowering their tax burden, and removing harmful regulations.

PROTECTING THE COMMUNITY

We must be supporting our local police departments and fire departments. I will be a strong advocate for our police departments so they have the resources to keep our community safe.

LOCAL CONTROL AND STANDARDS FOR EDUCATION

There needs to be a check and balance in our education system, that is local control of our school boards. Salem should not be dictating what our local school board can handle themselves. I will also push for achievable standards in our education system.

WORKING FOR MEANINGFUL TRANSPORTATION STRATEGIES

We must invest in better streets and transportation corridors in West Washington County. With the increased number of people moving to our communities, we need to help our local cities with funding.

Occupation: Retired Business Owner of a local firm serving electric utility industry.

Occupational Background: 40+ years serving the electric utility industry including engineering, manufacturing, distribution, sales, and international sales.

Educational Background: Engineering studies at Somerset Institute of Technology; Business Administration, Centenary University.

Prior Governmental Experience: Republican Committee Precinct Person with a clear perspective on government.

FAMILY: Married to Anna for 38 years. Blessed with two sons, a law enforcement officer, and a former Marine now a production manager. We have loved living in this beautiful State Oregon for more than 31 years.

REPUBLICAN BACKGROUND AND COMMITMENT: After selling my interest in a small business partnership in 2020 and retiring, I realized that voting and contributing money alone were not enough. I sought an appointment as Precinct Committee Person. Last year, I was also appointed to the Oregon Republican Party State Convention as a Delegate where I worked on the GOP platform and actively participated at the Convention. While volunteering for candidates, I gained considerable insight into the many real problems facing average Oregonians and this inspired me to step forward and serve my community as your State Representative.

MY PERSONAL MESSAGE: We are a constitutional republic that draws its authority from the consent of the governed. Somehow many of our political leaders have forgotten this truth.

As your State Representative, I will focus on improving our transportation system, reducing congestion, and opposing new tolls. Furthermore, I want to ensure that parents have options for how they educate their children and that school districts focus on the fundamentals. I’ll work hard to ensure we take care of the most vulnerable in society and make policy decisions that support private sector job growth.

I humbly ask for your vote.

As a husband, father, grandpa and self-made small business owner, Oregon needs elected officials who understand the challenges of creating living-wage jobs that support our families. We need fewer career politicians and more ‘regular folks’ who want to leave Oregon a safer, more prosperous place for our kids.

Gabriel Buehler

Occupation: Journeyman Plumber

Occupational Background: US Marine Corps

Educational Background: Clackamas Community College

Prior Governmental Experience: None

I volunteered for the United States Marine Corps after September 11th but before we went to war with Iraq. I felt the calling to serve the country that had guaranteed every freedom I had grown to love. Today I feel that calling again, to serve our state that has had so many freedoms stripped away by one party rule. This one-party state is constantly looking for a little more power and just a little more money to solve all our problems. The fact is our state has one of the worst education systems in the nation, the homelessness has never been improved by any of their policies and we are one of the most heavily taxed states in the nation. When your party comes first, and the people come second, your freedoms come last. One party rule doesn’t work as we all know in our beloved state of Oregon. Help me to restore balance to our state and let’s end this one-party rule.

As your state representative I will stand up to protect your inalienable rights including but not limited to;
Right to medical freedom
Right to self-defense
Right of parents in education
Right of free speech
Right to move freely within our country
Right to religious freedom

The last few years have shown Oregonians, how important it is to have a voice that stands strong with convection in the belief of basic rights. I will tirelessly educate voters when their rights are being ignored. In standing for my values, I have turned down many opportunities in my past. I will continue to stand strong in my values regardless of the consequence.

I am Proudly Endorse by these amazing grassroots organizations. I have been working with them, they have boots on the ground and make our voices louder.

Parents Rights in Education
Restore Oregon NOW
Free Oregon

Victoria Ernst

Occupation: Attorney, Adjunct Assistant Professor, and tasting room host at WillaKenzie Estate & J. Christopher Wines.

Occupational Background: Attorney, Tribal Advocate, and marketing manager.

Educational Background: Newberg schools, University of Oregon (B.S.), American University (M.A. & J.D.).

Prior Governmental Experience: PCP; McMinnville Budget Committee.

I know this district.

As a fifth-generation Oregonian, born and raised in Newberg, I know this district – its residents, challenges, and opportunities. I volunteer with YCAP, NWSDS, and McMinnville’s Budget Committee, working to find solutions for the residents of Yamhill County. As your next Representative, I will go to work finding solutions for the residents of District 24.

I am passionate about improving people’s lives.

I became a lawyer to make a difference in people’s lives. Abroad, I fought to protect democracy, counter extremism, and promote human rights. When I moved back, I was shocked to see those values under attack here. We are facing extremism, division, and systemic injustices. I am running to protect the principles of democracy and ensure that all Oregonians have a voice and a place in Oregon.

I have the right experience.

I am passionate about Oregon, and I have governmental experience working with US Congress, the European Union Parliament, and the UN International Law Commission. I am a lawyer, and I understand the importance of crafting targeted, effective legislation. I work hard, and I will get things done for this district.

As your Representative, I will work to promote:

  • Access to democracy, including countering extremism and protecting human rights;
  • Access to a fair economy that serves all Oregonians;
  • Access to affordable housing;
  • Access to healthcare, including access to women’s healthcare and mental healthcare;
  • Access to a healthy environment;
  • Access to quality public education; and
  • Access to justice, including adequate funding for civil legal aid and Oregon’s immigration and public defender systems.

Please vote for me to be your next Representative. Together, we can ensure District 24 serves us all fairly.

Elise Yarnell Hollamon

Occupation: Healthcare Administration

Occupational Background: Providence, 2012–Current

Educational Background: Aloha High School, Eastern University

Prior Governmental Experience: Newberg City Council, 2018–Current, Budget Committee, Urban Renewal

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.

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.
