Our reading

The choices this office faces
Every candidate in this race is asked the same 8 questions. Glenn Lancaster is on record on 4, with 4 still open. A question without an answer is a research gap, not a position.
No answer we could findMake data centers pay their own way: separate power rates, an end to tax breaks, or a pause on new ones?
Nothing on this exact choice in the sources we reviewed.
Keep the 2024 approach of recriminalized possession plus county deflection programs, and fund them in 2027–29?
Nothing on this exact choice in the sources we reviewed.
Spend more state money on wildfire prevention and firefighting?
Nothing on this exact choice in the sources we reviewed.
Keep adding state limits on federal immigration enforcement, on top of Oregon's sanctuary law?
Nothing on this exact choice in the sources we reviewed.
Vote for a 2027 transportation package that raises the gas tax and vehicle fees again?
Said: Says his opponent voted for HB 3991’s six-cent gas tax and higher fees, which voters rejected by more than four to one, and that he will stop the next tax increase.
Let the state keep part of a future kicker refund for wildfire or other one-time needs?
Said: Says he will stop the next tax increase and protect your kicker refund.
Close the 2027–29 budget gap with new revenue, or with cuts alone?
Said: Says Salem passed the largest tax increase in state history; he would stop tax increases and stop funding programs that grow even when they fail.
Keep paying for state-funded shelter beds and the homelessness emergency after June 2027?
Said: Says addiction and homelessness are treated as permanent and demands real solutions with accountability and results; he does not say whether to keep funding state shelter beds.
On the topic; the exact choice is unsaid.
A question the evidence leaves open
Which housing restrictions would you change, and how would roads and services be funded?
