Oregon Needs Effective Leadership

Oregon has been on a slow decline under poor leadership for years. It wasn’t always this way.

“When Kevin was in the Oregon Legislature years ago, he passed more of his bills than any other legislator in Oregon history. No one got more done for our community than Kevin.”

Cherish Clark, Owner of Mommy and Maddi’s (Keizer)

Standing Up for Crime Victims

“Kevin is the father of Measure 11, the ballot measure which established mandatory minimum prison sentences for violent criminals. Today he is fighting in court to stop Governor Brown from her continued early release of large groups of violent criminals. Kevin Mannix is Oregon’s leading crime victim advocate.”

Brian Eaker, Crime Victim

Fighting for Common Sense

“The COVID mandates of the last two years have been devastating for small businesses, churches, and especially parents and their school aged children. Kevin Mannix, as an attorney, has been constantly pushing back in court against a government run wild.”

Colm Willis, Parent & Marion County Commissioner

Defending Our Republican Values

“Kevin Mannix has been a champion for the rights of the unborn in Oregon for decades. Join me and vote to send him back to the Oregon Legislature to contend for the most vulnerable in our community.”

Lois Anderson, Executive Director of Oregon Right to Life PAC (Keizer)

“Kevin Mannix is one of my political heroes.”

Former State Representative Bill Post (Keizer)

Jesse S Smith

Occupation: Full-time parent, website developer, self-published author

Occupational Background: in my thirties, I learned several programming languages, went back to school for my MBA, and started a business. I believe my business background and professional skills have well prepared me for the daily business of the Legislature. Earlier work included teaching; the commercial printing industry; and a fishing cannery in Alaska. I believe my broad variety of life experiences uniquely qualifies me to represent the diverse people of House District 18.

Educational Background: MBA City University of Seattle, BA Whitman College.

Prior Governmental Experience: None.

We love Oregon.

We want our great State to be the best place it can possibly be.

We recognize the many challenges facing the world today: from dangerous policies pushed by our opponents, to the growing threat of global climate change.

Yet we persevere. We strive to pursue our vision of a better future for our children, our families, and our communities. We envision a world in which we:

  • fully fund the public schools
  • pay all workers fairly
  • have universal health care
  • combat climate change

Since I began campaigning, I’ve had the opportunity to hear from teachers, farmers, doctors, activists, retirees, labor representatives, and environmentalists. I have a deep appreciation for their concerns.

As a local small business owner, I was a member of both the Silverton and Salem Chambers of Commerce, where I spoke with many small business owners and community leaders. I appreciate their concerns, as well.

As your State Representative, I will stand up for the right to vote; stand up for the rights of women, minorities, and LGBTQ+ people; stand up for the natural environment; stand up for forests and farmland; work for expanded rural broadband; and stand up for the future of all the people of this great State of Oregon.

The Legislature can work for the people, to ensure a better life for everyone, now and in the future.

PRINCIPLED CONSERVATIVE

Pro-Liberty, Pro-Constitution, Pro-Life

Our Oregon government is failing us. From reckless COVID policies, to unnecessary wildfires, to rising homelessness and crime. Bit by bit, our Liberty is disappearing. I am a man of faith, a businessman, and a volunteer. I will bring proven leadership, conservative values, a deep understanding of this community, and a drive for results to Salem. My campaign is about restoring FREEDOM to the citizens of Oregon.

End executive overreach. Limit the scope and duration of the governor’s emergency authority.

Support farmers and small business. Reduce the regulatory and tax burden.

Local control of education. Parents have the fundamental right to direct the upbringing and education of their children.

Active forest management. Forest stewardship provides jobs, reduces fuel, and improves recreational opportunities. And when a fire starts, put it out!

Support our police. Restore law and order, advocate for victims of crime.

Tackle homelessness. Lead with compassion, expect accountability. Eliminate homeless tent camps.

Occupation: Construction Account Manager, Pastor

Occupational Background: HVAC Service and Installation

Educational Background: Western Seminary, Corban College, Hidden Valley High School

Prior Governmental Experience: Clackamas County Economic Development Commission, Clackamas Workforce Partnership, Library District Advisory Committee, West Linn Library Board

ABOUT AERIC ESTEP

A long time Oregonian raising four boys with his wife, Leslie, in West Linn. He excels in business and non-profit service, serving his community through volunteering and investing in his city and county.

CARE FOR NEIGHBORS

Millions of dollars have been given to care for the homeless yet encampments grow. The State is responsible for public safety yet it has ignored or dismissed crime. The plight of small businesses and communities are talked about yet ignored and often penalized. Caring for our neighbors shouldn’t be a talking point. Care for our neighbors must be prioritized, emphasized, and achieved.

HUMBLE GOVERNMENT

The status quo of the State has been anything but humble. It has increased taxes and pushed for more intrusion into the lives of individuals, businesses, and communities. The legitimate task of pandemic response has been ramped up to indefinite and comprehensive control. Government is a powerful tool and that is why it must be used humbly. Aeric will expect excellence in what the Government must do and provide a dissenting voice where it intrudes.

TRANSPARENT INSTITUTIONS

The status quo of the State is to be hidden and unaccountable. Schools, the Oregon Health Authority, and many other institutions play a defining role in our lives and that is why their lack of transparency has been so painful. Parents delegate responsibility of their children to schools. Parents must know how and why decisions are being made. The Oregon Health Authority has run roughshod over our lives and we don’t know when their influence will lessen. Institutions are important but they must welcome feedback and be held accountable.

Occupation: School Attendance Coach, Portland Public Schools

Occupational Background: Public Education and Youth Advocate

Educational Background: Bachelors, Sociology, PSU

Prior Governmental Experience: Director, David Douglas School Board

I learned from a young age that if you work hard, anything is possible. My experience as the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, decades of community development work, and elected school board leadership, has shown me the disparities many people face. They have also taught me the power of strong communities and working together to solve our toughest problems. East Portland and North Clackamas deserve a strong voice to ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

I will fight for strong public education, affordable housing, equitable community development, and accessible transportation. My top priority is you. I will listen to your concerns and ideas and be your voice every day at the Capitol.

Community Leaders Stand with Hoa:

“Hoa has worked side-by-side with families for years and has the leadership needed to serve our communities in the State Legislature. I am confident in her experience and ability to be our next State Representative. ” – Retiring State Representative Jeff Reardon, HD 48

“North Clackamas is one of the fastest-growing communities. Hoa has the skills to fight for her constituents and who we need to serve in the Oregon House.” – Kathy Wai, North Clackamas School Board

“Hoa’s experience growing up in a working-class family, as an education professional, and school board member make her the best candidate to serve.” – Andrea Valderrama, State Representative
