Chavez-DeRemer is the former mayor of Happy Valley, Oregon, and has supported more centrist policies included with her more extremist positions. She has said she wants to abolish critical race theory, saying it ...teaches kids to hate each other.... Unlike her opponent, Chavez-DeRemer focused her campaign on border security and critical race theory, something Albany Mayor Alex Johnson II said is more ...national talking points.... Speaking about Chavez-DeRemer's platform, Johnson told OPB: "I felt that she was more with the national party line. That was not something I cared about." McLeod-Skinner told the outlet she felt her policies would allow her to gain an advantage with the Republican voter base. "I get a lot of support from Republicans who just want someone who understands the issues and takes it seriously and doesn't have those platitude responses," she said. Meanwhile, Chavez-DeRemer has contradicted her views on hot talking points like abortion rights.
