Oregon Senate Republicans Announce Plans for 2024 Elections
“Oregonians deserve better than the reckless tax and spend policies”

Senate Republicans across Oregon have announced plans for re-election to their current Senate seats. Barring litigation on Constitutionality of Measure 113 nine Senators -- 10 Republicans and 1 Independent -- will no longer be able to file to run for their seats.

Senators Tim Knopp and Dennis Linthicum have sent a letter to Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade asking for a declaratory ruling on Measure 113 on whether Senator Knopp and Senator Linthicum will be allowed ballot access for the 2024 election. This is being done to lay the foundation for a Republican lawsuit to have the measure invalidated -- most likely based on the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution.

Republican Senators Eligible for Re-election Based on M113
David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford)
Dick Anderson (R-Lincoln City)
Fred Girod (R-Lyons)
Senators Not Eligible for Re-election Based on M113
Lynn Findley (R-Vale)
Bill Hansell (R-Athena)
Tim Knopp (R-Bend)
Art Robinson (R-Cave Junction)
Kim Thatcher (R-Keizer)
Suzanne Weber (R-Tillamook)
Daniel Bonham (R-The Dalles)
Cedric Hayden (R-Roseburg)
Dennis Linthicum (R-Klamath Falls)
Brian Boquist (I-Dallas)
“Oregonians are fed up with the national Democrat agenda.” Knopp said. “They are tired of out-of-control crime and drug use making their neighborhoods more dangerous. Oregonians deserve better than the reckless tax and spend policies driving up the cost of living and inflation across Oregon. They desperately want balance. Senate Republicans are looking forward to vigorous debates over the course of the campaign season.”

Senators Dick Anderson and David Brock Smith did not participate in the walkout. Senator Fred Girod had a well-documented medical reason for his absences.

Senator David Brock Smith (R-Port Orford) Senate District 1, Senator Dick Anderson (R-Lincoln City) Senate District 5 and Senator Fred Girod (R-Lyons) Senate District 9 have announced for 2024. and are not barred from running in 2024. Additionally, Senator Tim Knopp (R-Bend) Senate District 27 and Senator Dennis Linthicum (R-Klamath Falls) Senate District 28 will need a successful challenge to Measure 113 in order to file for election.
