Jo Rae Perkins: I'm hard-working & hard-hitting with Heartland Values

You deserve a U.S. Senator in DC, who stands tall for their country and will deliver on their word; A "Main Street American" just like you.

Jo Rae Perkins: Bummed that consultants made her take down QAnon video

Perkins told OPB in a lengthy interview that she regretted allowing her campaign consultants to take down a video she posted on primary election-night Tuesday in which she praised QAnon and said, "I stand with Q and the team."

"Am I bummed I took it down?" said Perkins, a semi-retired insurance agent from Albany, Oregon. "Yeah, I am really bummed. But I also hired a consultant whose job it is to 'protect me.'"

Jo Rae Perkins: Stands with Trump and QAnon

Perkins, who defeated three other candidates in a primary to be the Republican candidate, said in a now-deleted video: "I stand with President Trump. I stand with Q and the team. Thank you Anons, and thank you patriots. And together, we can save our republic." The QAnon theory centers on an alleged government agent named "Q", whose top security clearance has provided insight into a deep-state conspiracy involving everyone from Hillary Clinton to special counsel Robert Mueller.
