Casey Kulla in 2022 OR Governor's race


On Drugs: Added marijuana crop to his organic vegetable farm

Upon starting a marijuana operation on their farm Casey and Katie Kulla encountered no objections from neighbors. The Kullas attribute the lack of controversy to their 10-year history of growing organic vegetables without running into conflicts with surrounding conventional farmers. "We're not perceived as outsiders, which I think is a big problem right now," said Katie Kulla. "Nothing for our neighbors has changed," said Casey Kulla.

On Environment: Increase business regulations to limit environmental harm

We can build a more vital and energetic Oregon by increasing regulations to limit environmental harm by businesses. I've observed on my farm and across Oregon that new regulations based on "you cannot do [insert activity]" drive innovation, creativity, and lower costs, especially when the regulation is focused on environmental issues. Rather than fight regulations tailored to benefit Oregonians, small business owners should see them as opportunities to develop better processes and products.

On Gun Control: Not our job to make county 2nd Amendment sanctuary

Yamhill County commissioners recently voted to make the area a Second Amendment sanctuary. What that means is that going forward, the county will choose which gun measures it wants to enforce. "The board of commissioners are saying, you sheriff, and you district attorney, you can't enforce gun laws in the future that we don't like," Casey Kulla said. "They don't trust future elected officials to enforce the laws the way they want them enforced. What's my problem with that? It's not our job."

On Immigration: Oregon should welcome arrival of Afghan refugees

We have the opportunity to be kinder and more generous by offering a new home to people fleeing war and brutality. Embracing the arrival of new Oregonians carries other benefits as well. Afghan refugees will need rewarding work upon arrival and will seek out educational opportunities. The exchange of ideas and cultures when Afghans join other Oregonians can create new ways of doing business, of dressing, of communicating, of living.

On Principles & Values: Stop movement away from democracy & toward extremism

He hopes to play a role in healing the wounds of division should he be elected governor and find common solutions to common problems facing the state. "I feel like our state and country are on a knife's edge where we have a movement away from democracy and toward extremism," Kulla said. "I think we need, as a community and state, to step up and do what's necessary to stop that. Everything has become a point of division and I believe I'm someone who can bridge those divides."
