I hope that people are sick of the inflation. I think they're sick of being the poorest congressional district in the state. I think they're sick of the rising crime rate, rising groceries and everything, it just seems like this country is really at a turning point. And if we can't win in an open seat in this kind of a year in Oregon, it just seems like we're hopeless. So I certainly hope that we can take back the House and win a lot of these competitive seats in a year like this.

I mean, she's appealing pretty much to the Democrats in the district. Her sign even says a Democrat for Congress on it.

In the 1950’s [America was] the richest nation, the richest city on earth was Detroit. They voted for change and so now it is the poorest city in America. At the same time, the nation of South Korea, of all the nations on earth, was third from the bottom. Virtually the poorest nation on earth. It is now tenth from the top. If you understand the principle, the greater freedom, the greater the wealth, you can then put any nation [on this chart]. Now you can go to Tagusagopos, you can go to Buenos Aires, you can go to Cairo, you can go to Philadelphia and all you need to know is what percentage of the Gross Domestic Product is controlled by government, and the greater the government, the greater the poverty, and that’s all politics is about. Every day politicians say, “I can make a better decision for you than you can for yourself, and let me take your money away from you and make it on your behalf” and thus make the nation poorer.
