QUOTES:

  • “Joe Biden and the radical left have created crisis after crisis, and Americans are paying for it. In Congress, I will fight to fix what Democrats have destroyed. Our country needs reform; Americans are counting on it.”
  • “Disposable income continues to fall and bigger tax hikes by Biden are on the way. We are in the midst of a recession. Families are saving, but radical politicians keep spending our money. With your help, we can restore our economy and give hope to families across the country.”
  • “Americans know the federal government is responsible for their financial struggles. Reckless spending and the failed Far-Left agenda are to blame. It’s time we have America First leaders that want to restore our great nation and restore our economy.”

ENDORSEMENTS:

As the first female and first Latina elected Mayor of Happy Valley, she led Oregon’s fastest-growing community and delivered real results to small businesses and families.

She will stand up for unborn children and their mothers unlike her Democrat opponent who supports a policy of abortion on demand for any reason and taxpayer funding of abortion.” – National Right to Life Committee
  • “We know Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be a pro-small business Member of Congress. As a small business owner, NFIB member, and former mayor of Happy Valley, she has the experience needed to promote policies that will strengthen the small business economy. She recognizes the most critical issues facing small businesses in the district are the cost of labor, the lack of workforce, excessive regulations, and over-taxation and has pledged to focus on these issues in Congress. We look forward to working with her in Washington.” – National Federation of Independent Business
