Holly Cook, Small Business Owner & Former Democrat
“Being a former life-long democrat, I have seen the corruption, lies and failed policies the democrats have continued to unleash. I've come to realize that if we want our freedoms and the ability to be heard, we must chose the right leaders, no matter what. Ben Edtl is a warrior who will put his reputation and pride aside to stand for and with the people. When it comes to parenting, it is my right to choose how I raise my child and I will not be bullied by bought and paid for 'science' when it comes to medical choice. I have seen Ben Edtl stand up to the establishment, take on uncomfortable topics and continue to battle for parental rights and medical freedom rights.
Being a small business owner, I see none of us can fully thrive in an economy threatened by fearful lockdowns, high crime and soaring inflation. I trust Ben Edtl to be our voice of reason and to continuously challenge unreasonable rhetoric pushed down from the top, who clearly do not care about the middle class. We cannot afford another 4 years, and Ben Edtl's policies, hard work and voice will liberate us out of the past.
If we want true and transparent democracy for the people, we must have fiercely strong and dedicated leaders, like Ben Edtl.”
Kevin Dahlgren, Journalist
“Ben is going to bring common sense back to the state house. He is a passionate and intelligent leader that our state desperately needs.”
Michael Porter, Nurse
“Ben is an example of for the people. Constantly at children’s games and even coaching and being present. I know him personally and would love for someone with the same ideas as me to represent MY children and our communities.”
Dana Hindman-Allen, Clackamas County Delegate, Commissioner Candidate, Realtor
“Ben knows the real issues that threaten our economic stability and prosperity in Oregon. I know that he will rise to the occasion and put a hard stop to bad bills coming out of Salem and inspire those around him to join in the cause. I believe he will always remember his roots in civil rights activism and maintain a commitment to the people first. I have seen his passion first hand when I was a part of his civil rights organization, and know that his heart is in the right place. He will enhance the lives of future Oregon children through advocacy for educational standards and protections for minors as well as championing for small businesses!”
Paul Fruin, Retired
“I’ve followed Ben for years in his quest to end government tyranny and seek to understand what We the People want from our governments. Ben has convinced me that he understands that and is working diligently to represent all We the People, not simply a small group with loud voices and financial influence. Vote for Ben Edtl.”
Mark Shull, Clackamas County Commissioner
“Now is the time for dynamic change in Oregon. That change will require dynamic leadership with a high level of energy, a sense of justice for all Oregonians, and a vision of the future based on solid core values that will benefit everyone. When Ben Edtl is elected to HD37, Oregon Legislature, you will see a Representative who possesses the good judgement and the drive to make Oregon better for all people.
Elect Ben Edtl to HD37 in the general election, November 2024!”
Commissioner Mark Shull
Clackamas County
Kit Stavrum, Oregon Development Group, Inc.
“Ben Edtl has been a staunch defender of the people and of cleaning up our government and making the Government work for us and not the other way around. I support him in this endeavor and we need to stop the massive political corruption in Oregon's politics. Vote For Ben to clean up the swamp.”
Gloria Montes, Small Business Owner
“I have worked closely with Ben for the last two years. I admire his steadfast determination to fight for conservative values despite facing external pressures. He is dedicated, hard working and kind. I know that he will never waver when it's time to stand for truth.”
Dan Tooze, Vice Chair Clackamas County Republicans
Ben Edtl’s strength, knowledge and drive is what we need to rebuild the Oregon legislature for the People. Ben is a warrior for our Rights in Oregon. Ben will bring conservative fiscal values back so Oregon can, once again, be a top performing state in economic, education and public safety categories. I support Ben Edtl for the Oregon House of Representatives!

Matthew Bossard, Engineer
“In this Republic, We The People are the boss, and it's high time We start acting like it. This starts with every able-bodied freedom-loving person actually VOTING. Beyond that we need genuine We The People (not self-serving career politicians) to make sacrifices and serve their time in government. And we need a some sort of organized, sane mechanism to help make this happen. Not the politician-making machine that exists now.”
Briane Johnson, Teacher
“I endorse Ben Edtl because Ben Edtl was there for us during the lock downs fighting for our rights against vaccine and mask mandates!”
Michaela Hammerson, Chairwoman Umpqua Public Transportation District
“Ben is an exceptional leader who fights tirelessly for the rights and well-being of the people of Oregon. His work has significantly contributed to preserving equality and freedom throughout the state. I am confident that he will be an outstanding Representative for House District 37 and I wholeheartedly endorse him for this position.”
Lyneil Vandermolen, Small Business Owner at Van Chase Farm
“I met Ben when he organized a Free Oregon rally to protest the arbitrary and unconstitutional shut down of businesses during the Covid era. Having lost his businesses to the Portland police state, he understood the threats we are living under when all the organs of government organize against the citizen. Ben speaks for us.”
Paul W. May, Chairman Jefferson County Republican Central Committee, Retired Law Enforcement Officer and two-term City Councilor
“Oregon needs Ben Edtl! Oregon can no longer sustain career politicians that make a living off of your tax Dollars. From a Governor who hired her wife, to a failing transportation system to Government that has out of control spending. We need a leader who understands the real needs of Oregonians and Ben Edtl is what we need in the Legislature.”
Walter Drysdale, Retired Engineer
“I have known Ben several years and Ben is dedicated to holding our government accountable.”
