The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Beebe's responses.\nExpand all | Collapse all\nWho are you? Tell us about yourself. I am an American First candidate that is tired of Republicans not fighting for our rights. I am a combat Veteran of the War in Iraq, and I'm the current Mayor of Prineville Oregon. I want to preserve our freedoms that are guaranteed within the Constitution and fight for your rights. Together we can get this nation back on track. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? Border Security: We must finish building the border wall and stop the invasion of illegal immigrants into our country. Human trafficking and drugs are destroying our nation and it is time to stop this. I will never vote for a budget that contains sending money to other nations for their border security when we won't secure our own. Personal Freedom: Our rights, guaranteed within the Constitution, are under attack by Democrats and some members of the Republican Party. I am running to stop one of those Republicans from further endangering our State and Country. This includes the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments of the Constitution. America First: I will put America First in everything I do as a Congressman. We owe it to our own people to take care of their needs first, and not that of Ukraine or any other nation right now. Our homeless Veterans and Americans deserve more than the slap in the face they have received from our government when that same government is sending billions to other countries. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? I am passionate about our natural resources and the fact that we let them burn almost every year in the western US. We have a wonderful resource that is very much needed but is very mismanaged by government. I will work to remove the bureaucracy that ties up our federal lands. Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? I look up to George Washington as an American Patriot. I want to follow his example and serve this great nation with dignity, morality, and against all attacks to our Republic. He set the example of a true Patriot and I just want to live by that example. What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Honesty, transparency, integrity, and being able to actively listen. I think too many politicians do not listen to the people they represent. What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? I am a true believer in the Constitution and our Republic. I'm a Patriot in the truest sense of the word. What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office? To ensure that the Constitution remains the foundation of our Republic, and that our Nation is prosperous and safe. What legacy would you like to leave? That I fought for the rights of the citizens of the United States and for the people in congressional district 2 of Oregon. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? Mt. St Helens eruption in March of 1980. I was six years old at the time and I remember the volcanic ash lightly covering everything in central Oregon. My grandparents were up in that area logging at the time and they took a lot of pictures after the eruption of the forests and animals that perished. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? Les Schwab Tires in Prineville Oregon. I worked there for 22.5 years in both production and distribution. What is your favorite book? Why? About Face by Col. David H. Hackworth. It inspired me to be a leader and to serve my country as a Patriot. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? The House has the power, and sole power, to impeach any President that is deserving. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? Not at all, but having an understanding of the processes might help. Our Founding Fathers had no experience within the Constitution, but they framed our Nation in a way that ' We the People' could manage. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? One of the biggest challenges comes from within our own political system. Our Republic is under attack from people on both sides of the aisle that want to undermine the essence of the founding principles. We are a Nation of freedom and we need to continue the fight to preserve that. We must also secure our borders and ensure that everyone migrating to America is doing so legally. It is far past time to finish the wall and secure the border. Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives? I do believe it is. This is ample enough time to be involved and prove that you will support the people in your district. What are your thoughts on term limits? I believe we should have them for the Senate and House. Senate should be 2 terms. This is 12 years total. House should be 6 terss. This is also 12 years total. Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? I very much admired Greg Walden who represented our district in Oregon. He was well spoken and he would fight the issues that mattered to our district. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? I believe that some compromise might be necessary, but we must ensure that our values are not trampled on and that the will of the people whom we represent are acknowledged. The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected? I will not vote for any bill that raises taxes on the American people or the people in Oregon's congressional district 2. We are taxed enough already and need to live within our means. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? Only if there is a just cause to investigate any foreign or domestic issues that violate the Constitution or present a threat to this Nation. They should not be used just to remove, or help remove a political opponent from office.\nNote: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.

I am a Veteran who volunteered to serve in Iraq and I will continue my fight to preserve this great Country. Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office? I stand for border security. We must finish the wall now! I am Pro Life. Life begins at conception. I will put American values and needs first before sending money to any other country. What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Natural Resources Technology Integration (AI) National Security Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why? George Washington is probably the person I admire the most. I wish I could of met him and talked about the founding of our nation to get an understanding of the vision. He put his entire life into service of a new nation and without men like him, we would not have the great country we do today. I would like to follow in the Founders example and work to preserve our liberties because there are many people who want to erode the very freedom that was fought so hard for. What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official? Integrity Honesty A listener Empathetic Transparent What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder? I believe I am a good listener and that I understand what my constituents want. I listened to the people of Prineville when they wanted a leader to fight the extreme measures during covid, and I stood up and fought for them. What legacy would you like to leave? That I fought to preserve our nation. What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time? Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980. I was almost 7 years old at the time and I remember the ash falling here in Central Oregon.

I also remember buying little jars of ash after the eruption. What was your very first job? How long did you have it? My first job was in the tire industry for Les Schwab. I stayed there for 22.5 years. What is your favorite book? Why? The Real George Washington What was the last song that got stuck in your head? In Color, Jamey Johnson What is something that has been a struggle in your life? Feeling like I am not doing enough for everyone. What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution? The House is a reflection of the citizens of this nation. These people were elected by their peers within their districts and they are sent to the capitol to support their constituents. This allows us to truly have a Republic and not a Democracy, which the democrats would like to have. Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics? I believe it may help with understanding the processes, but you do not have to be a politician to understand government. What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade? Our greatest challenge might be fought within our own ranks. The democratic party is trying to destroy our country from within and we are failing our children in almost every aspect of life. We need to be teaching our children how to be productive adults when they graduate from high school. There also needs to be a reintroduction to teaching the Constitution in schools and for young Americans to learn about the founding of our Nation and our laws.

I believe this is the right length for the fact that if someone is failing to do the job we sent them there to do, we have the opportunity to replace them every two years. What are your thoughts on term limits? I believe that we should have term limits for all offices. If this was done for the Presidency, then all politicians should be subject to them. My solution: Senate: 2 Terms or 12 years House: 6 Terms or 12 Years Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after? I really appreciated Greg Walden from my district in Oregon. I had a great presence in the House and was able to accomplish things that represented our values. Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful? Honestly, I can compile all of the stories I have heard from the older generation of farmers and ranchers that I looked up to as a kid. I loved listening to how things were in the 30's to the 60's in Oregon and how the logging industry was king. Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking? I believe that compromise is necessary but I do not believe it is desirable. I do not want to give up my values just to get a bill to pass. Today's elected officials pack so many items into a bill that there is absolutely no way for them to read it all, or understand what they are voting for. One item per bill! The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected? I would not vote to approve anything that raises taxes on Americans. Government is too large now, and we do not need more of it. How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers? If there is a report made to the House regarding any person in Congress or any appointed officials, they should investigate it and be transparent about the findings. We deserve a right to know what information was found during any investigation. Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.

As your representative for Oregon's 2nd Congressional District, I will bring America First values to the US House, and I will not be an establishment Republican. I am a concerned citizen of Oregon who knows that our current representation is not doing the job we expect them to do, so I am running to be your voice. We will not give up on this fight to save America from the evil that has plagued us. We will use the budget as leverage to secure our borders, finish our wall, and stop the insurrection at the southern border. As the Mayor of Prineville Oregon, I fought for citizens’ rights to medical freedom from the draconian rules that OSHA imposed on the people. I was the only mayor in Oregon to pass legislation that helped protect businesses from the OSHA fines, Resolution 1474. We will take the same vigor and resolute value to the office of Representative and will be a servant to the people of CD2. We stand for America First values. We stand for a secure border, stopping immigration, increasing American’s wages, and stopping the flow of illegal drugs. We stand for our Constitution, that it is a divinely inspired to protect our God given rights. We stand for the 2nd Amendment to ensure that all Americans can protect their family and their community. We stand for an America, whose citizens determine the direction of the Republic, and not an elite group of globalists. Vote Beebe, because the establishment isn’t getting it done.

I believe it helps but just having the determination to represent the people of your State is enough to run for office. How many of the first Senators had experience in the US Senate?
