National Guard Deployment
Democrat
Gov. Tina Kotek
When Trump sent military troops to police our streets, Tina Kotek communicated directly with the President that the takeover was unnecessary and unlawful. She coordinated with state agencies to block the deployment of the National Guard and protect Oregonians from Trump’s federal overreach.
Standing Up To Trump
Tina Kotek fought back against National Guard deployment on Oregon streets – and won. Donald Trump was permanently blocked from deploying the military against Oregonians.
Republican
Sen. Christine Drazan
After weeks of refusing to make clear where she stood, Christine Drazan said she supported military deployment in Portland and stood by while Trump turned federal troops against Oregonians.
Following The MAGA Agenda
Instead of working to protect Oregonians from Trump’s gross abuse of power, Drazan blamed local leaders who were working to protect our communities. If Drazan were Governor, Trump could have a rubber stamp to do whatever he wants in communities across Oregon.
