Republican David Alsup

Alsup’s platform is pro-logging. Not only will logging help reduce forest fires, but the Drain native adds that the industry has the potential to help save education.
Alsup said he’d like to see 20 percent of logging revenues go to help local schools. And while Alsup would work to help fund education, his primary focus is on K-12.
The Republican, the youngest of 14 children, said representing District 4 wouldn’t be a challenge, especially because of his skills in communication.
Alsup believes he is well-suited to represent District 4, and plans to involve students if electd to office.

Democrat Tony Corcoran

Corcoran currently holds the state’s District 4 Senate seat and would like nothing more than to see voters continue backing him come Nov. 5.
Corcoran supports clearcutting as a way to prevent forest fires and is also pro-education. But the Cottage Grove resident thinks it’s time politicians start making wise choices.
Upset with the state’s current economic situation, Corcoran said it’s time to scrutinize where and how tax dollars are spent.
Corcoran believes his experience will enable him to represent the diverse areas within
the district.
