“People in Eastern Oregon … have different views on crime, the Second Amendment, abortion, taxes and minimum wage,” Matt McCaw, spokesman for Greater Idaho, told The Post. “…
Some Oregonians are so fed up with spiraling crime, easy access to drugs and homelessness that — for the first time in 40 years — OregonChristine Drazan, 50, a former Oregon house minority leader has a slight lead over her closest opponent, former Oregon house speaker Tina Kotek, a Democrat. Independent Betsy Johnson is also in the race, and some predict she might split the blue vote.
Mike McCarter, one of the group’s founders, described Greater Idaho as being about “people who value freedom, independence and self-sufficiency.” Gilson also said that she doesn’t feel safe after Oregon decriminalized personal portions of all drugs in 2020 and, earlier this year, instituted bail reform laws that allows defendants charged with misdemeanors and some felonies to be released with posting bail.
Still, McCarter insists that the movement for a Greater Idaho is not a political one. “We try to keep the movement away from politics,” he said. “Our movement is a traditional-values type movement of faith — of people who value freedom, independence and self-sufficiency.”
