Ben Edtl: Running strong for the State Senate

Talk about a pivotal moment in Oregon’s history! After nearly 40-years of Democrat one-party government, Oregonians are ready to swing the political pendulum in a new direction.

There’s a lot of division these days, but there’s one thing most voters agree on: the policies of the far Left simply aren’t working. We are seeing outward manifestations of this failure with the incredibly high cost of living, out of control crime, and the egregious ousting of parental involvement in our public schools.

The past two years have been strange and terrifying. We need a new generation of bold leaders.

Ben Edtl is exactly that. He is running to unseat Democrat District 19 Senator Robert Wagner, an extreme-left politician who passed more than sixteen bills to defund police, more than seven bills that destroyed our public schools, and thirty bills that drove up our cost of living.

Adding insult to injury, Wagner is listing himself as an Independent in the mid-term voters pamphlet in an attempt to evade responsibility for the destructive policies that he signed on to. In fact, he is the Democrat Senate Majority leader, with full allegiance to the current Democrat Party Ideology.

Now Wagner is trying to toll our roads!

After losing his businesses downtown due to COVID lockdowns, violent riots, and lawlessness which city leaders refused to effectively counter, Edtl founded Free Oregon, a civil rights organization, to stand up to the violations imposed by the far-left Democrats in Salem. He inspired people of all political affiliations to take action and hold the government accountable.

Free Oregon took Governor Kate Brown, the State of Oregon, and the Oregon Health Authority and CEO Patrick Allen to both federal and state courts. Those lawsuits continue to this day.

Ben Edtl has shown himself to be a tenacious visionary with the ability to mobilize people into taking positive, solution-based action. Ben has earned the endorsements of the Oregon Coalition of Police and Sheriffs, which represents local law enforcement agencies across the state. He has been endorsed by Crime Victims United Oregon, and can be counted on to fully fund law enforcement and restore law and order.

If elected, Ben promises to repeal Wagner’s CAT tax, which nearly doubled the cost of almost every product we buy. He’ll bring parents back into our public schools, and stand up to all the corruption!

When so many politicians are motivated by personal greed and power, Ben is motivated by causes, like crime reduction and safer streets, sound economic policies, reinstating educational standards, and government that is responsive to the people.

Ben is working to restore Oregon to its rightful owners: YOU.

For a better quality of life in Oregon, I strongly urge you to vote Ben Edtl for State Senate in District 19!
