ELECT DWAYNE YUNKER-- OREGON STATE REPRESENTATIVE OF HOUSE DISTRICT 3
ELECT DWAYNE YUNKER-- OREGON STATE REPRESENTATIVE OF HOUSE DISTRICT 3
I am grounded in the belief that an overreaching government stifles personal freedom and hinders individual progress. I remain committed to the principle that individuals are best equipped to make decisions about their own lives and well-being. My deep appreciation for history continues to inform my constitutional approach to legislation.
I believe individual rights are the cornerstone of a free society, and none are more essential to preserving those freedoms than the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms is not a privilege, it is a fundamental safeguard against tyranny and government overreach. A well-armed citizenry is a powerful check on those who would erode liberty, and it embodies the principles of self-reliance, personal responsibility, and the protection of life and property. The Second Amendment ensures that power remains balanced between the people and the state, exactly as our founders intended.
Children are our greatest asset, and their education is the key to securing a strong future for our communities and our country. That’s why my family and I are deeply committed to education. My wife teaches 5th grade, my son serves as a school counselor, and his wife teaches 1st grade, we live this every day.
I believe education must be rooted in choice, accountability, and the values of the families it serves. I will champion local control, parental rights, and full transparency in public education, while also recognizing the vital role private and alternative schools play in driving student achievement.
Oregon needs true education freedom, where funding follows the child, not the system. Every student deserves access to a high-quality education, whether in a public, private, charter, or home school setting. We must prioritize academic excellence and restore the teaching of civic responsibility so that the next generation is prepared not just for college or careers, but for citizenship in a free society.
Life is an extraordinary and sacred gift from our Creator, an unalienable right that begins at conception and extends to natural death. I am firmly rooted in the belief that every human being is created in the image of God and therefore possesses inherent dignity, value, and worth.
Because of this, I will unapologetically defend life at all stages. I will stand for the unborn, protect the elderly, support the vulnerable, and speak for those who are too often ignored or marginalized by society. The measure of a just society is how it treats its most defenseless, and I will never waver in my commitment to pro-life principles.
As your representative, I will fight for policies that uphold the sanctity of life for every Oregonian, because protecting life is not just a political position; it is a moral responsibility.
Dwayne, his wife Gina and their 4 children.
My commitment to this country began early, when I enlisted in the U.S. Navy during my junior year of high school. That initial call to serve never faded. After the Navy, I joined the United States Marine Corps, where I served over a decade on active duty, shaped by discipline, courage, and an unshakable sense of mission.
When I gained custody of my eldest son, I stepped away from the Marines to take on my most important role, being a full-time father. But my dedication to service didn’t end there. I went on to join the Army National Guard, adding another 11 years of active duty and continuing to serve both my country and my fellow soldiers.
Throughout my military career, I deployed across the globe and earned numerous awards and medals, each one a reflection of duty, sacrifice, and a deep love of country. I have carried those same values into the Oregon State Legislature, where I serve with honor, integrity, and an unrelenting drive to protect the freedoms I fought for in uniform.
My commitment to you is unwavering: I will continue to bring true conservative values to the Oregon State Legislature. I remain focused on limited government, free-market principles, and restoring accountability to how your tax dollars are spent.
Oregon doesn’t need more bureaucracy, it needs bold leadership. We need to unleash innovation, encourage entrepreneurship, and demand fiscal discipline so that every Oregonian has the opportunity to succeed.
The path forward begins by returning to the time-tested values that built strong communities: traditional family, individual liberty, personal responsibility, and the sanctity of life. These are not just talking points, they are the foundation of a thriving society.
I humbly ask for your vote so I can continue to serve you in the Oregon House of Representatives for District 3, with conviction, integrity, and a clear vision for Oregon’s future.
568 Northeast E Street, Grants Pass, Oregon 97526
