We can’t let Christine Drazan rewrite history. I found the statement she issued when Trump announced that he was sending troops to Portland. Despite what she now implies, she didn’t oppose Trump sending troops to Portland. Thankfully, Tina Kotek & Dan Rayfield successfully fought off Trump!

As someone who voted for Steve Novick in his U.S. Senate primary against Jeff Merkley, I find it interesting that his current politics on Portland City Council has him aligned with a donor who has given $30k to Christine Drazan since 2022.

The term “remigration” is associated with the extreme right and only came into widespread usage in 2023-4. Even Germany’s AfD avoided using the term in 2024 for fear of scaring away voters. Today the US government is celebrating the “victories” it’s racked up in the “ethnic cleansing” column.

There's a real history of moderate Republicanism in OR stretching back to Mark Hatfield, Bob Packwood, & Tom McCall. All spoke out against the far right elements in their party. Drazan just tries to ignore it, knowing that if she said anything she'd be toast. rightlandia.ghost.io/bob-packwood...

And this isn't a report from a political opponent. It's the Trump U.S. Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, which investigated an anonymous complaint, interviewed witnesses and reviewed documentary and physical evidence.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
So here's the question: Why is someone whose federal government tenure ended after an OIG investigation into misconduct involving travel, alcohol and ethics now trusted to lead Drazan's nonprofit? Drazan has Wright in a leadership role.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
That makes Drazan's own rhetoric worth revisiting. Drazan has pushed her administration promoting accountability and create an Office of Government Accountability. She has also said: “I’m running for Governor to hold government accountable to you.” www.christinefororegon.com/drazan-plan/

And where is Rebecca Wright now? President of A New Direction, the nonprofit founded by Christine Drazan. Wright also served as Drazan's 2022 deputy campaign manager. This isn't a distant connection. Wright is part of Drazan's political organization today.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
OIG findings concluded Wright failed to comply with DOL requirements involving travel and alcohol, while the report documents witness allegations concerning retaliation and inappropriate workplace conduct.

Put it together: The Trump OIG investigated Rebecca Wright over allegations involving government travel, alcohol, workplace conduct, retaliation and ethics.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The OIG also found problems with gifts and ethics procedures. Wright didn't submit certain gifts through the required process.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
And witnesses described Wright making comments about employees' appearance, weight, race and sexual orientation.
100
OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Then retaliation. Employee witnesses told the OIG that Wright removed career employees from travel-preparation duties after they raised concerns about potential violations of federal travel regulations. Wright later reassigned three career employees away from the Secretary’s suite.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
Then there was the drinking. The OIG concluded Wright, Chavez-DeRemer and Jihun Han failed to follow DOL policy by regularly consuming and storing alcohol on federal property without required written approval.
100
OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The report says witnesses described Wright using official travel to facilitate visits involving her own family. They also said Wright exercised substantial authority over destinations and whether travel was designated official or personal.
100
OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The OIG didn't merely say Wright “violated policy.” It concluded that she improperly combined personal & official travel, allowing government-funded travel to destinations connected to personal trips. Multiple witnesses told investigators Wright added official engagements to personal itineraries.

Wright was a senior official at the U.S. Department of Labor. A new DOL Inspector General investigation found Wright engaged in misconduct involving government travel, alcohol, ethics and retaliation, while witnesses described a hostile workplace.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
The government found Rebecca Wright used Gov funds for personal gain, bullied staff, and drank on the job. Christine Drazan, who is running on a platform of accountability, has Wright leading an organization. That's not accountability.

So a Q for Christine Drazan is: What did you know about Rebecca Wright, what standards did you use when placing her in positions of trust, and what does that history tell Oregon voters about your judgment in choosing the people around you? That's a question about leadership.

OREGON BS @oregonbs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
Political judgment includes the people you choose, promote and trust. When multiple people in a political network later become subjects of serious scrutiny, voters are entitled to ask what standards were being used inside that network.
