Flip the 6th (gameplay thread)

[Schiff for Senate]

FINAL POINT - AD AIRED IN EUGENE MARKET:

"Next year, all Republicans will have a choice on who to vote for in the Republican primary for Oregon's 6th congressional district, a beautiful districts centred on the city of Salem [images of scenery in Salem and OR-06]. The district is crucial and a Republican win here will be crucial to our winning Congress, so we can stop the disastrous Biden agenda [images of the House, Joe Biden and the Afghanistan withdrawal flash one by one]. Therefore, there's only one true choice for this distict: State Representative Heather Cooper [image of Cooper]. She was born right here in this district, in Salem [image of Cooper's birthplace], and was taught the importance of conservative, family values [1990s image of Cooper and her family eating dinner togather] and public service [image of the Cooper family volunteering in the 1990s]. She was taught what it means to be an American, and to serve your hometown, state and country . So Heather, keeping those lessons in mind, launched a campaign for the Oregon House of Representatives, from the Salem-centrict 19th district, in 2016 [images: first of the Oregon State Capitol; then a map of the 19th]. It was an uphill fight, but she won [image of victory speech]. Since then, every day, Representative Cooper has served the people of Salem, and the people of the 19th district, fighting for her constituents and voting for bills that will help them and against bills that will hurt them [images of Cooper in the OR House]. And in the last five years, the lives of her constituents have markedly improved [image of Cooper hosting a town hall with pleased constituents, circa 2018]. Here's what those constituents have to say: [caption: Bob, age 49, father and war veteran] 'Miss Cooper's been a great representative, fighting for us and our values and fighting for lower taxes. She's fought for veterans like me. My wife and I have proudly voted for her in 2016, 2018 and 2020, and we'll vote for her again next year.' [caption: Annette, 65, proud grandmother of five] 'Representative Cooper has fought for senior citizens like myself. She's worked across the aisle, worked to bring healthcare for me. She is a true public servant.' [caption: Tobias, age 25, volunteer and activist] 'Heather Cooper got me interested in politics, in public service. I volunteered for her campaign in 2016, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made, because Heather taught me the value of public service, and she has fought for me, my family and everyone else in this district.' [cuts away from images of Bob, Annette and Tobias and returns to original voiceover] You've heard it from the people she's served, folks: Heather Cooper will fight for you every single day, no matter what it takes. Vote Heather Cooper on the day of the primary so we can win this race. [cuts to Heather Cooper's voice] I'm Heather Cooper, and I approve this message."

Dale Scott spends final point airing district-wide ad

Tired of freedom-crushing mandates? Tired of corrupt politicians pushing you around, forcing you to abide by laws they don't follow? Tired of our children being indoctrinated in our schools? If you answered Yes to any of the above, a vote for Dale Scott is in your best interests, as he will fight against critical race theory, drain the swamp, and end mandates in Washington!

[GregTheGreat657]

Excerpt from Salem Rally

We the people are sick and tired of corrupt politicians. We are tired of our prices skyrocketing. We are tired of being forced to follow rules that the creators of those rules do not follow. We are tired of our children being indoctrinated. We are tired of not being allowed to live our lives. We are tired of our schools being forced to shut by teachers' unions. We are tired of all the crime holding our cities hostage. We are tired of our borders being open, with immigrants not being tested, while the lives of citizens are being held hostage for what is basically the flu in a healthy person. Meanwhile, our Democratic "leaders" aren't just complicit in all of this, they are actively encouraging all of this.

@ChristineJang

One year ago at this time, our nation sustained an attack on our founding principles of liberty, equality, and democracy. In the turbulent times of today, we must not forget Ben Franklin's prescient warning that we only live in a republic as long as we can keep it.

January 6th, 2022

@ChristineJang

The Republicans don't seem to realize that mask mandates and history education in public schools are the responsibility of state and local governments, not our representatives in Washington.

January 24th, 2022

Christine Jang's campaign continues to run the same television advertisement in the Portland and Eugene media markets and on YouTube in both English and Spanish.

*Jang stands in a public park in Salem with her husband and daughters throwing a Frisbee in the background*

"Hi, I'm Christine. Thirty years ago, I never would've guessed where I would be today."

*cuts to photos of Jang as a child with her parents, brother, and sister*

"My parents instilled in me the values of hard work and community. Not too long before, they had left Korea in search of a new life in the land of opportunity. It was a difficult start for them, but through years of perseverance they realized their dream, starting their own neighborhood store, getting involved in their church, and raising three children."

*cuts to videos of Jang walking in the mountains and along the coast and videos of her talking to people in various places in the district*

"When I first moved to Oregon 14 years ago, I was also in a new place with no prior connections. But I soon fell in love with the kind people and natural wonders of the Willamette Valley. As I came to call this place home, I realized that I wanted to give back to my community. I know many honest, hard-working people around me whose lives have been very tough. They have been left behind to struggle through no fault of their own, and they deserve much better. That's why I'm running to represent the people of Oregon in Congress."

"I'm Christine Jang, and I approve this message."

Campaigning is now closed for the next grading period, with the exceptions of folks who requested and were granted extensions.

Doyle Brooks's speech at Salem Rally

My friends,

We have gathered here today so that the tyrant Kate Brown gets to hear our message loud and clear: we want our freedom back! We are sick and tired of being forced to follow mask mandates and other stupid restrictions which have not only taken a toll on our physical and mental health as a whole but have also left so many without their jobs and livelihoods! We are sick and tired that a year after a vaccine that was supposed to give us our lives back was developed, we still have to live like this because of the wishes of tyrants like Biden and Brown! We are here to ask Kate Brown to lift mask mandates, to lift vaccine mandates, to let the people of Oregon resume their normal lives like so many other great states have done! Enough is enough! No more mandates now!

Statement from Rep. Cooper: "The latest polling shows to us that the only electable candidates in this race are myself and Mr Scott. Doyle Brooks has zero chance of winning! He only leads against Yuri Testikov of all people, and even then, by just one point. He is losing to progressive Christine Jang by 5 points - I'm trailing her by just two. He's trailing the liberal Thomas Ryder by 8 points - again, I'm losing by only two. What this poll tells us is that Brooks winning our nomination will really be a win for only his Democratic opponent - he'd give them the race on a gold platter! We thought he might at least beat Yuri Testikov, but given that he's beating him by just one point, we can see that it's possible even Yuri Testikov might actually beat Doyle Brooks. A vote for Brooks is, in essence, a vote for Testikov and other woke, far-left politicians, and I trust the conservatives of Oregon's 6th will see this."

Statement published on Testikov's blog After Growth on February 7 (Monday):

"We have gained much momentum in the polls–so much for those writing off our candidacy as a hopeless long-shot. Polling against the leading Republican is within the margin of error, and we have plenty of room to gain among the Democratic base for the rest of primary season. Surely we can corral the Democratic coalition into line behind us if we win the nomination. Salem and Washington are about to see firsthand what a grassroots movement can do when united behind a true cause. The Alaskan upstart will teach this district, this state, and this country a lesson about the sanctity of what we so demeaningly call 'natural resources', as though they were ours alone."

Thanks to your diligent support, we have solidified our position as a contender for the nomination. We are within the margin of error of winning the primary and lead all of our potential general election opponents. With some more hard work, I am confident that we will emerge victorious in the primary and defeat the Republicans in November.

The fact that radical communist Yuri Testikov is actually a contender for the Democratic nomination shows how far gone off the deep end that party is. Testikov spits on everything American, he has nothing but contempt for patriots! We must defeat him!

Also note that if 2 points is such a big difference, you are only doing three points better than that against the anarchist, radical Yuri Testikov. I underperform the generic ballot by one point - you do so by seven!! If I'm not a very good choice, well, you're a very terrible choice."

COOPER TO RUN BELOW AD IN THE PORTLAND MEDIA MARKET (-2 points):

"Doyle Brooks says he's electable. But the polls say otherwise. He is losing by 8 points against Thomas Ryder, the likely Democratic candidate, and is losing by 5 points against the runner-up Christine Jang. In fact, if we look further, we can see that he is beating just one candidate: the anarchist, communist radical, Yuri Testikov - and by just one point, well within the margin of error, unlike the two polls where he's losing. So it's clear Doyle Brooks is unelectable. The only one who doubts this...is Doyle Brooks himself. He's called on his supporter to ignore the polls, he's called them 'fake polls,' and made to trick us. No - he's the one trying to trick us - to trick you, the Republicans of Oregon's 6th, to help him win the nomination and lose to any liberal Democrat in the general election. Because even though he calls the polls fake, in the very next breath, he cites them as evidence that other Republicans (who outperform him vastly) are weak. So, who will the people of Oregon's 6th trust? A known flip-flopper, or the polls? This is an important choice, because if the flip-flopper wins the nomination, the anarchist wins the general."
