Since 1983 to be exact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I simply couldn&#8217;t stand spinning in my Redmond grave any longer after the recent Republican gubernatorial primary. The final straws were television ads showing a swinging Sandy mayor boast his two daughters (appearing in the ad with him) would never compete in sports with trans athletes and another ad showing a female candidate attacking a female opponent because the opponent had supported the installation of tampon machines inside boys bathrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That was all I could stand so I have somewhat resurrected and heartily endorse independent Frank Beavers for Governor of Oregon. He is the right candidate for the job. He&#8217;s not bought and paid for by big timber, Phil Knight or the unions. He&#8217;s not insane or deluded. He accepts gravity as a scientific principle. He is truly a lover of the outdoors and loves sculpting beautiful and mesmerizing pieces of wooden art. Yes, we need an artist as chief executive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frank Beavers is also the hardest working citizen of Oregon I have ever seen. He never stops working to better himself, his family, community and watershed. He is easily the most ecologically and spiritually attune person I&#8217;ve had the privilege of meeting. (We met in a shared dream and drank beer together.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, Frank Beavers for Governor. He&#8217;s very much the candidate we need to heal the dangerous divisions in Oregon. He won&#8217;t do it with talk because he doesn&#8217;t say a whole lot. He gets things done! He is a creature of ACTION!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cast your ballot for Frank. Elect him Governor and let me rest in peace goddammit!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have refrained from making political endorsements related to candidates running for various Oregon offices, because, well, I&#8217;m dead.
