About Rick Dancer
I am not a Professional Politician. Im a former Television Journalist who honestly believes that the voice of the people is not only important, but desperately needed to govern the State of Oregon. At the end of February I gave up my career in Television to take on the job of running for Secretary of State. Why Secretary of State? The Secretary of State works for you. He or she works for the people. When elected, I will make sure your voice is heard and given attention.
I truly believe that the only way Oregon will ever be “our” Oregon again, is if more of us get involved in the process of taking care of our great state. Many of you are sick of politics and want nothing to do with it. Im not asking you to run for office, but I am asking you to get involved. We all get frustrated when we feel as though no one is listening to us. Now is not the time to retreat. We can vote for people who are like us and who will represent us in the government.
What happened to We the People? I think weve given up some of our responsibility. We honestly believe it’s We the Legislature, We the City Council or We the mayor. It’s not. It’s We the People. When your vote is ignored or your opinion devalued, express your concern, say something, get involved.
Who is Rick Dancer? Hes an Oregonian who truly believes in the power of the people. He’s a guy who thinks involvement is everything. Hes a guy who believes change is not that far away. But change doesnt just happen. Rick Dancer is a citizen who believes that government should be of, by, and for the people. I want to work for you as Oregons next Secretary of State.
