Oregon is at a crossroads. Across the state there is growing frustration with the direction and size of government. Too many Oregonians, rural and urban alike, feel unheard by a system that has become inefficient, overregulated, and driven more by ideological governance than practical problem-solving.
My campaign is rooted in a simple belief: the people of Oregon deserve a government that works for them—leadership able to reform spending, restore efficiency, and return power to voters.
In 1776, the First American Revolution rallied around a simple truth:
No Taxation Without Representation.
In 2026, Oregonians rally around my Constitutional Amendment:
No Taxation Without Voter Approval.
A Legacy of Leadership and Stewardship
My family’s story is woven into the fabric of both Oregon Territory and world history. Our Duyck ancestry served as Lands Advocate of Holland during one of the most prosperous periods of the early Dutch Republic. This office evolved into the Grand Pensionary, the Chief Executive of the first Modern Republic.
On the other side, my Newton ancestor—the uncle of Sir Isaac Newton—arrived on the Mayflower, seeking freedom and opportunity in the New World. Their descendants journeyed west, eventually settling in Oregon Territory to build a legacy of resilience and leadership.
Since the 1800’s, the Duyck Family Farms have helped preserve the Tualatin Plains, one of the most fertile soils in the world, protecting it from urban sprawl through sustainable agriculture.
