Portland Parks & Recreation says it has $759 million in needed maintenance across its system. Without stable, long-term funding, the bureau estimates that one in five park assets could fail over the next 15 years. katu.com/news/local/what-cou…

Working as a licensed veterinarian for 30 years in Portland I have had the privilege of earning the trust of many pet owners. Diagnosing and treating a person’s pet is a process that requires mutual trust between the vet and the pet owner. This same skill is what I will employ when listening to my constituents. When you elect me you choose someone who knows how to listen and provide solutions. Vote for me #marknorman for HD27 A LICENSED professional whose is committed to earning your trust.

Thank you for the support!

Integrity, preparation, respect and accountability are all principles that guided my service in the Navy. These same principles I will employ in the legislature and when advocating for veterans. Veterans deserve to have access to all of the benefits that they earned through service. Vote for me Mark Norman for HD27 #service #accountability #oregon

Oregonians rejected Governor Kotek’s gas tax by 83%. Now lawmakers are considering 36 new taxes and fees to raise the money another way. From DMV fee hikes and tolling to congestion pricing and delivery fees, Salem seems determined to work around voters’ answer. Oregon doesn’t need more taxes. It needs accountability, better priorities, and leaders who respect voters. bit.ly/4cz4M2M @oregoncatalyst

BIG NEWS: We just won our lawsuit protecting critical education, health, and social service programs in Oregon – like childcare & early learning for 4,800 children, and $3.1 million annually in Title X funding.

Shared power will be a very good thing for Oregon. More balance. More accountability. No tax hikes. Better results for Oregonians.

Oregon data centers generate $60 million in statewide tax revenue, research study finds

Vote for Mark Norman!! @MarkForHD27

A friend of mine did the deep dive on the biennial state budget information. He got his information from this website and happily allowed me to post it for all to see: commonsenseinstituteus.org/o… He also corroborated the budget information with the Oregon state legislative website and it checks. This is the situation we find ourselves in, folks. Now, we must vote ourselves out if it by voting in Republicans legislators and @ChristineDrazan for governor! 👇🏼 In 2001-2003 Oregon's budget was $34 Billion: 32% for education 25% for social programs 12% for infrastructure 12% for administration 6% for public safety 13% for everything else The 2025-27 budget was $140 Billion, over four times higher: 18% for education 45% for social programs 7.5% for infrastructure 14% for administration 5% for public safety 10.5% for everything else Focus on the money they are giving away: In 2001-03, Oregon spent $8.5 Billion, 25% of its budget, on social programs. In 2025-27, they are spending $62.7 Billion, 45% of the budget on social programs. That is 7 times as much and almost half the budget on handouts. The “Healthier Oregon” portion of the OHP spends $1.3 Billion and offers free medical for illegal migrants. They spent $60,000 on “homeless services” per homeless person in 2024, and the homeless count rose anyway. Oregon schools fell to the bottom of the US reading and math scores. To fix the poor graduation rates, they passed a law that students don’t need to prove proficiency to graduate. This doesn’t seem like they are addressing poverty or poor education; they are building an empire of permanent dependency with themselves in charge . With that their campaign strategy is, “Vote for us or the Republicans will take away your benefits!” Kotek can’t blame Oregon’s money troubles on Trump. Democrats have controlled Oregon politics this whole time, even as the Federal government has flipped party control 5 times!

Report finds Oregon data centers used electricity equal to over 70% of all homes in state kptv.com/2026/09/21/report-f…

This is what happens with government-run healthcare. Ours is not perfect in the USA, but please share this message in Oregon (and elsewhere else). Government-run healthcare is what the DSA proposes for Oregon.

I often wonder what Democrats running for state office are offering Oregonians beyond promises and campaign talking points. Oregon continues to face serious challenges under a party system that has controlled Oregon’s government for some time: •Students struggling in reading, math, and science •Businesses dealing with taxes, regulations, and rising operating costs •Low workforce participation and persistent unemployment •Increasing electricity, housing, food, and transportation costs •A continuing homelessness crisis •Serious financial pressure on hospitals and healthcare providers •Rural communities feeling ignored by decision-makers in Salem •A state government that continues spending more without consistently delivering better results These Democratic policies did not appear overnight, and more of the same won’t fix Oregon’s issues. But Oregon’s elected Democrats should still be held accountable for the policies they support and the results those policies produce. So, my question is: Why vote another Democrat into office? Oregonians should expect more than slogans. They deserve specific plans, measurable goals, and leaders willing to admit when current policies are not working. That is the conversation we should be having because more of the same isn’t working.

Wow! Looks like we are near the top in this category!

Meet Tammy Carpenter. She is on the Beaverton School Board and is also running for House District 27 in Oregon. She is endorsed by the Democrat Socialists of America. She thinks anyone earning over a million dollars a year should be taxed at a 90% rate… 🤔

This is the best video I have seen all day. Thank you, Mark, for running for Oregon. You are the common sense public servant that we need so desperately here in House District 27. Your opponent, a Democratic Socialist, will further devastate small business. We need everybody voting for Mark Norman. As a former legislative candidate, I endorse Mark Norman for the Oregon House! Please share this video!
