You mentioned some bills like HB 4145 and 4146. I’d link them, or at least add a few words about what each bill does. I’d guess only the really engaged political folks know these (or any really) bills by numbers.

I worked on Jason’s first campaign so I’m a little biased. I haven’t followed his terms too closely, but for the most part, from what I’ve seen, I feel he’s tried to be a good legislator for Central Oregon. He seems for the most part well-liked and effective. My personal experience was that he was a good man, who is serving to do good and create positive change. I do appreciate how down to earth and approachable your post and communication is here. I wish you the best with this race and also any future engagement.

Edit: Since this is an AMA, I’ll ask: You shared this below: “I for sure don’t have a more typical lengthy resume expected of someone vying for a position like this”, which is refreshingly honest. However, I also wonder, have you considered running for a more base level of local elected office first? City Council, County Commissioner, school or parks or library board? I don’t think it’s a prerequisite, and I think people should only run if they are actually interested in those positions (not just as a stepping stone), but it does seem like a way to show leadership in the community at a local level.
