DCCC Statement on Perennial Loser Mike Erickson Entering Race for Oregon’s 6th Congressional District

Give it a rest, Mike. 

Today, perennial loser Mike Erickson entered the race to challenge Congresswoman Andrea Salinas in Oregon’s 6th Congressional District.

In response, DCCC spokesperson Dan Gottlieb released the following statement:

“After failing to buy a seat in power not once, not twice, but three times, MAGA millionaire Mike Erickson still seems to think he can pay to erase Oregonians’ memory of his anti-choice record, rank hypocrisy, and dangerous far-right beliefs this time around. Voters in the 6th Congressional District know exactly who Mike Erickson is: a perennial loser who will say and do anything to buy his way into power – even if that means lying through his teeth and endangering the rights of Oregonians along the way.”

As a reminder:

• Erickson is vehemently anti-choice and wants to ban women’s access to reproductive care without exception – including cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother’s life – even though Erickson himself paid for his former girlfriend to have an abortion.

• Erickson is an enthusiastic Trump supporter and prominently featured language about election fraud on his website last cycle ― until he won his primary and scrubbed all of it.

• Erickson has run for Congress in Oregon and lost not once, not twice, but three times – continuing to self-fund losing campaigns over the span of nearly two decades – and he’ll lose again in 2024.
