NEW: Extremist Christine Drazan Caught Scrubbing Campaign Website to Cover Up MAGA Record

New reporting from The Oregonian reveals that Oregon GOP gubernatorial nominee Christine Drazan scrubbed her campaign website in a desperate attempt to hide her extreme MAGA credentials from voters.

Drazan scrubbed the words "Tough. Tested. Conservative" from her website as well as her record of fighting against common-sense gun safety legislation. She also overhauled her Voters' Pamphlet statement, deleting references to her Trump-style efforts to overturn mail-in voting in Oregon.

The Oregonian highlights how Drazan's sudden rebrand "away from partisan attacks and conservative talking points" is in direct conflict with her "reputation in Salem as a combative, partisan legislator."

Read more about how Drazan was caught papering over her MAGA record - and why Oregon voters will see right through it:

The Oregonian: From 'Tough. Tested. Conservative.' to 'Champion for All': Drazan broadens her pitch in governor's race

  • As recently as late August, state Sen. Christine Drazan's online biography used three words to describe the Republican gubernatorial candidate: "Tough. Tested. Conservative."
  • Those words have now been replaced with the phrases, "Mom. Public Servant. Champion for All."
  • Similarly, Drazans' newly released Voters' Pamphlet statement excludes much of the partisan messaging that was featured in her statement for Oregon's May primary, and leaves out her previous pledges to "fire bureaucrats" and "restore safe communities."
  • With weeks left until the November general election, Drazan has shifted away from partisan attacks and conservative talking points and instead emphasized her life story and connection to everyday Oregonians, regardless of party.
  • Drazan's newly revised campaign biography no longer details her efforts in the Legislature to fight various policies backed by Democrats, such as gun control bills that she previously referred to as "attacks from the far left."
  • Likewise, her new Voters' Pamphlet statement doesn't mention her efforts to secure Oregon's elections, defend gun rights and "protect girls' sports and keep men out of their locker rooms," all of which were featured in her statement for the primary election.
  • Meanwhile, Drazan's new Voters' Pamphlet statement touts her record of "delivering bipartisan results," despite her reputation in Salem as a combative, partisan legislator.
  • As House Minority Leader, Drazan vehemently opposed polarizing policies backed by Democrats, leading boycotts to impede their efforts.
