Bud Pierce Runs on “Stronger Together”
He is not new to Oregon’s Governor race

Bud Pierce is identified as an American physician and politician. He is not new to Oregon’s Governor race, running as a Republican nominee in 2016 special election, he has again announced he will run in 2022.

Bud Pierce was born William C Pierce in Wiesbaden, West Germany and raised in Riverside County, California. He moved to Salem in 1994 after receiving a M.D. in 1987 from UCLA School of Medicine. The medical degree came while serving six years as an enlisted Marine reservist, . and he served in the United States Naval Reserve as a doctor during his medical training.

Today, Pierce is a senior partner of Oregon Oncology Specialists of Salem, one of the last physician-owned oncology practices in the Northwest. He is the anchor of the practice, working five days a week, at his dream job.

Pierce started Oregon Crossroads, a public policy and opinion website and podcast in 2019 to engage the ideas of people who live and work in the trenches of life. His goal is to bring practical solutions to complex problems. He firmly believes that leadership is not telling others what to do, but bringing people together around an idea, which was his goal for Oregon Crossroads. Pierce wants to ”bring people together around problems and create solutions that work—something that our current leadership is not doing.”

Pierce announced the details of his campaign platform as wanting to focus on homelessness, public safety, supporting small businesses, healthcare and environmental protections.

Pierce says, “Oregonians currently suffer under the oppressive leadership and poor performance of our current governor. I will never set arbitrary and non-scientific policies, ask law enforcement to monitor you in your own homes, or ask you to inform on your neighbors in the absence of statutory crime.”

“The citizenry is frustrated and unsettled, and I am a far stronger candidate than I was in 2016” Pierce contends. “The time has come for a Republican to once again serve as governor of Oregon after a 40-year drought.”
