"Defending the Second Amendment and the right of parents to protect their minor children from the abortion industry had a political cost for me. I know Courtney Bangs too will always choose to protect us and not her political career."
~Senator Suzanne Weber (R-Tillamook)
Rooted Here. Showing Up for You.
I’m Courtney Bangs–an educator, mom of three, and lifelong Republican. My husband Derek and I are raising the sixth generation on the family farm. For almost 20 years, I’ve worked with students of all ages, nurturing a love for learning.
When I ran for County Commissioner in 2020, I took on a far-left Portland Democrat politician and won. I’ve followed through on my promise to protect working forests, cut red tape on housing, fight for rural infrastructure, back law enforcement, and keep government accountable to the people who live here.
"Courtney didn’t have to be asked to show up for loggers, fishermen, and working families. She has been a fierce advocate for our way of life and will continue the independent, commonsense leadership that we have always counted on."
~Former State Senator Betsy Johnson (Warren)
Courtney Bangs Opposes the Costly Gas Tax!
Extreme Democrats just passed a $4.3 BILLION transportation tax hike and tried to keep you from having a say. I helped ensure this gas tax went on the ballot for a vote of the people and ask you to join me in voting NO.
