Brian says public safety is the first responsibility of government. Orange Goes Green: Campaign Recycles Signs Brian says save Oregon for our children not from our children.

Brian says citizens, small businesses and property owners are over regulated by to much government bureaucracy.

“A strong economy means supporting small businesses. Oregonians needs money in their pockets for fuel and food not in the pockets of government. Oregon needs roads not rails. Oregon needs classroom money not classroom bureaucracy. Oregon needs common sense not political correctness. Oregon needs Leadership!”

“I will provide leadership in the Oregon Statehouse. I am asking for your vote this election.”

God Bless America !

No, we are not recycling the old parade gator. Though it is banged up a little. Instead, the campaign has gone “green” if you hold store to the new environmental advertising on your television but there is nothing new.

Brian was once told he was the cheapest campaigner in the state. Thrifty is a better word. When you see any “Boquist” sign know that it has been washed, touched up, and recycled from an old campaign. The only thing new is the soap and water. Even the orange paint is an old can that happened to be in the garage.

You expect government to be thrifty. Expect your candidates to be the same. Vote thirfty ! Paid for and authorized by Boquist Leadership Fund Page
