Monique DeSpain served in the U.S. Air Force, the Air Force Reserve, and the Oregon Air National Guard. She earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Utah in 1986, a graduate degree from Central Michigan University in 1993, and a law degree from the Willamette University College of Law in 1998. Her career experience includes working as a legal consultant and attorney.

I’m a mom, a retired Air Force Colonel with 30 years of service — it’s my blood. I’m here to continue serving, just as I have in the military and our judicial system, now as your Congresswoman.

I’m a commonsense, no-nonsense, results-oriented woman. What I see around us today deeply concerns me — we have a crushing economy, unsafe communities, and public schools that aren’t adequately preparing our children for the future.

I raised my sons in Eugene and I know the importance of a strong community and foundation for our families.

In my work in Oregon, I’ve witnessed a persistent lack of transparency and accountability in government, epitomized by the recent ethical quagmire Val Hoyle is in with her pay-to-play scheme with La Mota and her failures as BOLI Commissioner. Having served in our Department of Defense as a Colonel with a top secret security clearance, I know and understand the real threats to our national security. I have never been more concerned for the future and safety of my children, and your children, than I am right now. Together, let’s stand up and fight for all Oregonians. Deploy me to Congress and let’s take this fight to Washington D.C.! Monique served our nation for 30 years in the United States Air Force, the Air Force Reserve, and the Oregon Air National Guard, retiring with the rank of Colonel. For 20 of those years, she served as a lawyer with the Judge Advocate General’s Corps in various locations and deployments, including Singapore, Bosnia, Kosovo, Cypress, Italy, the Pentagon, and Oregon, developing policy, handling investigations, managing litigation, and advising senior commanders on military justice and ethics.

Concurrent with her military service, Monique worked as a legal consultant for a full spectrum of business and family matters including policy development, Veterans’ affairs, litigation, and alternative dispute resolution.

She volunteered for ten years as a Board Member, President, and Mediator with the Center for Dialogue & Resolution in Eugene, Oregon.

Following her retirement from the military in 2019, Monique joined the Kevin Mannix Law Firm and pursued legal causes fighting for the rights of crime victims, business owners, and other Oregonians. In 2022, she joined the non-profit Common Sense for Oregon, where she worked to formulate policies that would better serve Oregonians and improve public policies to address rampant homelessness, addiction, and crime in Oregon communities.

Monique is running for Congress in OR-04 because she knows we need a fighter in Washington who will roll up her sleeves and deliver results for Oregonians.

Oregon Statewide Races

Republican Candidates

Will is an experienced prosecutor, proven leader, and dedicated public servant who has the vision and experience needed to restore our broken justice system by protecting children from abuse, reducing crime, holding drug traffickers accountable, and combating public corruption. Will’s professional experience began in Marion County, Oregon. He served as a deputy district attorney for nine years in Marion and Yamhill counties, specializing in prosecuting child sex abuse cases.

In 2014 he was recruited by the National District Attorneys Association to provide technical assistance, best practices trainings, and innovative research and literature to district attorneys offices, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and child protective services across the nation.

During his time with Marion County, Will chaired the Sex Offender Protocol Board and served on the Oregon District Attorney Association’s legislative committee where he reviewed crime legislation and testified as an expert to various legislative sub-committees. His success as a prosecutor quickly took him to Alexandria, Virginia.

Continuing his commitment to protecting victims and building functional justice systems, Will began working with a global human rights organization, International Justice Mission (IJM), in 2015 as an Office Director to lead its Northern Uganda office. In Uganda, he led a multinational team to combat violent raids against widows and orphans after Uganda’s 21-year civil war. His team was able to rescue hundreds of widows and orphans from violence and starvation, and work with police and prosecutors to convict several violent land raiders.

In 2018, Will was promoted at IJM to lead the West Africa anti-human trafficking operation based in Ghana, West Africa. In collaboration with the U.S. State Department, the British Government, the German Government, and UNICEF, Will and his team of 70 professionals prosecuted child traffickers and rescued child slaves from the fishing industry on Lake Volta, the world’s largest reservoir. His team also rescued women who were trafficked from West Africa to the Middle East for forced labor and sex. As a result of his team’s work in Ghana, there has been an estimated 36% reduction in the number of children used as slaves in the fishing industry in Ghana, an unprecedented accomplishment in just a five-year period.

During his time in Ghana, Will made it a priority to return to Oregon every summer to visit family and friends.

Each visit unveiled a concerning transformation in Portland’s landscape, a gradual decay that gained momentum following the passing of ballot measure 110.

Witnessing this accelerated decline in 2021, he resolved to take action and return to Oregon with the aspiration of becoming Oregon’s next attorney general.

His deep devotion to Oregon, combined with his desire to leverage his expertise in justice system reform, fuels his mission to curtail the deteriorating state of affairs and help revitalize this place we all call home.

State Senator Brian Boquist was born and raised on a dairy farm in Tillamook and has been an Oregonian his entire life. He and his wife, Peggy, now live on a small farm in Dallas where their six children were raised. The family farm and forest operations spread multiple counties and several states. At 17, Senator Boquist enlisted in the U.S. Army receiving education benefits that would later aid in his receipt of a college education. Brian retired as a Special Forces Officer from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command being transfered back to the reserves.

Brian’s official military retirement commenced in October 2018. After receiving a B.S. in Social Science and Business Administration at Western Oregon University, he earned an MBA from Oregon State University in Corvallis.

Formerly, he worked with a group of companies and government entities preparing Marines, Army and Navy members for combat deployments.

Prior to that, he was worked in international aviation and logisitics in Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Latin America supporting commercial, humanitarian, and peacekeeping operations.

Brian served as State Representative in House District 23 and is now the State Senator in rural District 12, which is comprised of House Districts 23 and 24.

Brian is married to Peggy and has five adult children.

He is an independent constitutional republican values voice for the People in rural Polk and Yamhill Counties who want the individual, family and small business freedoms.

“I’m an independent minded constitutional republican. I believe supporting Oregon families, small business prosperity, protecting property rights, defending our borders, respecting senior retirees, and less state government results in ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’”

Brian says stop the globalist sellout driving up your gocery, fuel, and utility bills … invest in Oregon not New York.

Brian says prosecute criminals, enforce existing laws, support the Constitution to keep investments in Oregon. Stop business closures and flight.

Brian says the State Land Board should manage our state forests, natural resources, environment, and make energy & food affordable for all Oregonians.

Brian says honor seniors by safeguarding their retirements. Maximize investments!

Brian says government overregulates small businesses and property owners which stifles Oregon investments.

Brian says Oregon needs local jobs not government gimmicks.

Brian says Veteran businesses in Oregon are a good investment.

“Oregon needs to support families and small businesses with Oregon investments. Oregon needs homes built not government bureaucracy. Oregon needs affordable local health care not rationed care. Oregon needs affordable education not government divestment. Oregon needs common sense investing not political correctness.”

“I am asking for your vote.”

Leadership That Counts – Boquist for State Treasurer

My name is Dennis Linthicum. My wife, Diane, and I have lived in Klamath County for nearly 20 years. As we celebrate our 36th anniversary, we continue to love living and working in the beautiful Klamath Basin. We have two children, both happily married and starting families in Oregon.

I have a B.A. in Economics, from UCLA, and I currently utilize my economic knowledge as a teacher and speaker for the Dirt Road Economist. I also provide training on Constitutional principles throughout Oregon and California. I have a Master’s Degree from Biola University. My work history revolves around software and large-scale database development. While in California and Oregon, I have enjoyed contributing technical and managerial expertise across many fields: defense, micro-electronic circuits, semiconductor manufacturing, real estate data-processing and large-scale life insurance portfolio management.

Thirty years ago family opportunities led us to Oregon where we became active in careers and rural community life. I have been the State Senator for District 28, including parts of No. Eastern Jackson County, Southern Deschutes, and all of Klamath County for eight years. Before the last redistricting effort, Senate District 28 included all of Lake and all of Crook Counties.

The reason for my candidacy is that Oregon needs realistic solutions.

Oregon’s budget problems are mounting with estimates for the next biennium’s shortfall to be near $5 billion. Oregon needs to push beyond the status-quo mentality that pretends our ever-expanding bureaucracies will provide citizens with ever-expanding opportunities.

Oregon’s budget problems are mounting with estimates for the next biennium’s shortfall to be near $5 billion.

Oregon needs to push beyond the status-quo mentality that pretends our ever-expanding bureaucracies will provide citizens with ever-expanding opportunities.

Big-government, it is not the solution – Liberty is!

The hardworking people who live, work and play here in Oregon have a right to more freedom.

Oregonians have the right to less regulation, more personal control with lower fees, permitting requirements and taxes.

This makes the entrenched elites extremely difficult adversaries.

No elected official has the power to change the system by himself. The bureaucracies are massive. The cumulative regulations and the unending legislation that empowers them are overwhelmingly complex.

This makes the reform process messy.

This is why Thomas Jefferson wrote, “In questions of power, then, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the Constitution.”

Bureaucracies are structured so that power and money lies in the hands of the special interests that have the most to lose.

But, it is our “skin in the game.” We have the most to lose and therefore, we have the most to gain.

It is our responsibility is to demand adherence to our US Constitution. The Bill of Rights protects citizens from the government by making the law a shield for the people rather than a weapon in the hands of the government.

Our First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, the press, and assembly or public protest.

The Second Amendment gives the people the right “to keep and bear arms.”

The Third Amendment has to do with the quartering of soldiers on civilians, a large complaint against King George III, but not a practice of present-day armies.
The Fourth Amendment grants “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures” and prevents the issue of warrants except “upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
The Fifth Amendment prohibits double jeopardy, self-incrimination, the taking of life, liberty, or property without due process and the prohibition of seizing property without just compensation.
The Sixth Amendment guarantees speedy and public trial requires that a defendant be informed of the charge against him and to be confronted with the witnesses, to present witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of an attorney.

The Seventh Amendment gives the right to trial by jury to civil suits.
The Eighth Amendment prevents excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishments.
The Ninth Amendment says that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not deny or disparage others retained by the people. In other words, people have rights in addition to the those listed in the proscriptions against the government’s use of abusive power.
The Tenth Amendment reserves the rights not delegated to the federal government to the states, or the people.

Your next Secretary of State must believe in, understand and advocate for these legal protections as the legitimate boundaries for Oregon’s government enterprise.

NonPartisan Statewide Judicial Positions

The seven justices on the Oregon Supreme Court are selected through nonpartisan elections. Judges’ terms begin on the first Monday in January following their election.

Justices elected to the Supreme Court must be United States citizens, no older than 75 years of age, members of the Oregon State Bar and residents of Oregon for at least three years.The court has its offices and courtroom in the Supreme Court Building, one block east of the State Capitol in Salem.

Judges serve six-year terms (must retire at end of calendar year in which the judge turns 75). Judges seeking to serve more than one term must stand for re-election.

The chief justice is selected by peer vote and serves in that capacity for a six-year term.

If a midterm vacancy occurs on the court, the governor appoints a replacement. The appointee serves until the next general election occurring 61 or more days after the vacancy, at which point he or she may run for election.
