Dan Thackaberry – A Family Farmer and Local Leader in Linn County for Forty Years.

Perhaps no one is more prepared to represent House District 17 than Dan Thackaberry. He has worked on his family sheep farm in Linn County for forty years. He now runs the farm he helped build, and serves as the President of the Linn County Farm Bureau. He is the former director of the Linn County Soil and Water Conservation District and member of the Lebanon Planning Commission. Dan is coming to the end of his second term on the Lebanon City Council.

Dan Thackaberry – Independent Leadership for Working Families.

Dan has worked consistently to insure the effective use of our tax dollars, and has fought against blatant and wasteful tax giveaways to out of state corporations and administration cronies. He fought for local businesses and farms when he opposed the expansion of the established Wal-Mart, which would have brought nothing new except an 18 acre parking lot to Lebanon. He spearheaded the Walden Pond Project, an innovative way to meet more stringent DEQ specifications for sewage treatment water at a lower cost to taxpayers. The project will be a model for other US cities.

Dan Thackaberry – Standing up for Rural Oregon.

Dan has spent his life working in and working for rural Oregon. His experience serving rural Oregon gives him unique insight into the needs of rural communities. Dan strongly believes that “the pursuit of happiness” should be accessible to all Oregonians, and he understands what it’s going to take to make that a reality for working families in the rural part of State.

Dan Thackaberry – Working for our priorities.

• Dan believes we must have access to affordable, quality healthcare – especially in rural communities. Dan knows that working families now carry to much of the tax burden. He will work to bring tax fairness back to Oregon by aggressively cracking down on tax cheats.

• Dan knows that strong public schools are some of the most important parts of Oregon’s rural communities. He will work to fund a full school year and smaller classes for kids in every Oregon community.

• Dan believes Oregon is in a unique position to achieve energy security with a combination of wind, tide, solar and biofuel sources. Dan will lead the effort to invest in these new technologies that will both lead to energy independence and build both Oregon’s rural and urban economies.

• Dan will lead the Oregon legislature to act within its jurisdiction to insure that our own borders and ports are secure from terrorist attacks.
