Grants Pass Real Estate Agent to Run for Governor as Independent
Tuesday, October 27, 2015
Thomason announced his campaign on Monday. On his campaign website, Thomason claims he is running to be the state’s top executive in order to help solve the state education, unemployment and corruption issues.
“Under the rule of Kitzhaber/Hayes/Brown, we have gone from being one of the most admired states to become one of the most laughed about,” Thomason’s website reads. “Scandals and failures in Oregon are constantly in the news rather than our leadership and innovation. From Cover Oregon to Public Education to unemployment, Oregon ranks at the bottom, and it is only worsening. It is time to break the chain of leadership that has brought Oregon to the brink of collapse. From dynamic leadership, the creation of a profitable and green industry, sustainable job opportunities, and to lottery money being given back to Oregon counties, Cliff Thomason has a plan for restoration of the great state of Oregon. It is time to change the culture in Salem and bring Oregon back to the top. Let's Make Oregon Great.”
As GoLocal reported, the Independent Party qualified to be a major political party earlier this year and will participate in the May 2016 Primary Election.
