He is running for Governor of Oregon in 2026 and is asking for your support to reclaim the state from radical-left, one-party rule. Through faith-centered political content viewed by millions each year, and collaborations with PragerU and national voices like Benny Johnson, Brandon Tatum, Chad Prather, and David Harris Jr., David has become one of the leading conservative voices in one of America’s most progressive regions. His message is rooted in God, family, country, Constitutional values, and in restoring Oregon to those principles. David’s greatest strength is mobilizing everyday citizens through high-impact media and grassroots outreach. Across the greater Portland area, he offers a bold alternative to the chaos, radicalism, and decline gripping the region. He has confronted anti-American extremism head-on by using his voice to defend liberty, truth, and public order. David attended college in Portland before graduating from George Fox University, where he became known for challenging Marxist ideology in the classroom. His journey has included hardship, from political persecution following January 6, including an FBI raid on his home, to the loss of his mother, but through every trial, David has stood firm and will continue STANDING FIRM for Oregon. His resilience and unwavering faith continue to inspire Oregonians and Americans nationwide. David grew up in Salem/Turner, Oregon and attended Cascade High and North Salem High. He’s currently a small business owner and manages multiple employees in his digital media organization. He has one daughter, Savannah, who is in her senior year of high school.
