The Shedd - April 24

Rick Metsger - Senate Bill 3

 In 2023, Oregon lawmakers passed Senate Bill 3, which required high schools to teach students financial literacy and career skills, such as how to interview for a job. Metsger, who served 12 years in the Oregon Senate before President Barack Obama appointed him to the National Credit Union Administration in Washington, D.C., knows his way around legislation. The last-minute change has him seeing red.

Noah Robinson - Oregon Senate District 2

Running for Oregon Senate 2nd District. 
 
Occupation: Scientist; Educator; Businessman
Occupational Background: Vice President & Scientific Researcher, Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine
Educational Background: Southern Oregon University BS (Chemistry - earned in only 2 years); California Institute of Technology, PhD (Chemistry - earned in 3 years)
Prior Governmental Experience: Assistant to Senator Art Robinson
Our state and our people must prosper!
We must minimize government intrusion, so that liberty, freedom, justice, and equality of opportunity are assured. We should make the best use of advances in technology. As an accomplished scientist, Noah brings a valuable science and engineering perspective to our state legislature, as his father Senator Art Robinson has. Noah will work to correct flawed energy policies which have driven up the price of electricity and gasoline.
   
Security
Psychoactive drugs are killing Oregonians and destroying lives. Drug dealers must be harshly prosecuted. We need strong penalties to deter drug users. Partial measures that politicians can brag about will not solve the problem.
We must protect the lives of all people, born and unborn, through legislation that is pro-life and pro-second amendment.
We must end illegal immigration, so all Oregon citizens of all races and ethnic backgrounds can thrive.
   
Education
Noah is a scientist and experienced educator, who has helped provide educational materials for home schooling and as supplements for public schooling to more than 100,000 K-12 students.
Noah knows that educating children takes time, but is not difficult. The problems in public schools could be easily fixed. Our schools should be locally controlled. Only politicians refusing to act stand in the way of our children receiving a good education.
   
Justice for All
Everyone should be treated equally before the law. We must rigorously follow the rules of our Constitutional Republic.
   
Natural Resources
We should restore responsible use of Oregon’s wonderful timber and mineralogical natural resources.
   
Endorsements
Senator Art Robinson
Senator Dennis Linthicum
Senator Brian Boquist
Oregon Firearms Political Action Committee
Josephine County Republican Party Chairwoman Holli Morton

Sumit Rai - Young People Cancer

WHY ARE SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE GETTING CANCER? IT’S COMPLICATED
Just last month, two young, high-profile public figures announced that they have cancer.  First, Olivia Munn, 43, disclosed that she was treated for breast cancer after catching it early. Days later, Kate Middleton, 42, announced she has been receiving treatment for an unspecified form of cancer. By 2030, one recent study estimated, the number of these early-onset cancer diagnoses could increase by roughly 30% worldwide—and the number of people who die from their conditions could rise by about 20%. We chat with Sumit a expert on early detection. He lost his sister to cancer and just launched Cancer Check, an early detection tool that provides screening for all known solid tumors from a single blood draw.
