A message to Baker County

September 18, 2026

The BCRCC official website has been developed to provide access to information so that Baker County residents can easily attain a network of sites containing pertinent facts and statements on political issues important to Eastern Oregon.

The BCRCC official website has been developed to provide access to information so that Baker County residents can easily attain a network of sites containing pertinent facts and statements on political issues important to Eastern Oregon. It is also important for viewers to have the ability to discern and establish opinions without being solely led by statements of individuals who populate social media. In other words, the BCRCC is inclusive of conservative opinions, considerate and not divisive when discussing topics (or individuals) who support or do not support another's stance, and committed to electing individuals who have the broad based experience (as well as capacity) to accomplish the tasks without bias or special interest pressure.

The original dragnet TV production had a standard byline. It was "Just the facts ma'am". This is an important consideration as Oregonians complete the November 3, 2026 general election selections of Oregon Governor, US Representative, US Senate, and County Commissioner in Baker County. Many past candidates have had good intentions regardless of party affiliation but which of those have reflected the traditional values of the electorate, the integrity to support common sense human values, and positive, quantifiable outcomes that benefit all not just the few??

Oregon has not performed on a fiscal, educational, or broad job creation basis for many years and current statistics prove these points on multiple levels.

We need a new course, a return to some industries that historically created fiscal stability, and the election of leadership to calm the divisiveness so prevalent in our current society. Loud voices, anger, vulgarity, accusations, and deception have created turmoil in Oregon for far too long. Those who truly embrace Oregon history, love of family tradition, and belief in a brighter future for our State must rise up and lead the long needed revival of Oregon.

Thank you for your consideration of support for the Baker County Oregon GOP on both our website and on Facebook.

Dan Johnson

Chairman, Baker County Republican Central Committee

by Baker County Republican Central Committee

Candidate: Kody Justus Baker County Commission, Position #3

Kody Justus exemplifies the character, experience, and leadership required as Commission Chair for Baker County.

Kody’s real-life experiences include military, law enforcement, land ownership, and cattle production. His business knowledge places Kody apart from other candidates.

Kody Justus exemplifies years of active service and leadership in Baker County. Kody is selfless and when it comes to evaluating the issues; his actions reflect what is for the good of all throughout Baker County.

Be it the Baker County cattle producers or other natural resource issues, Kody has been involved for years. He supports open public forests, revised forest management to reduce fire, personal water rights, and the production of Eastern Oregon minerals. Kody has actively attended for years many county meetings in regard to forest fire resource damage and loss of personal property, the Eastern Oregon Mining Association, and other meetings to discuss local concerns.

Kody Justus supports less government for the betterment of private sector business growth. He is beholding to none and will make principled decisions based on a thorough review of facts for sound results.

If the citizens of Baker County want sound fiscal management, a County Chair with an open- door policy, and decision process transparency, Kody Justus is that candidate. He is an involved person asking for our support to do even more for Baker County.

As the official, publicly elected Precinct Committee Persons of Baker County, the Baker County Republican Party strongly supports Kody Justus. Baker County can rely on his values, abilities, and commitment. We encourage your vote for Kody Justus.

Where the county stands

Baker County by registration

4,451 non-affiliated (no party) · 34.3%

1,697 registered Democrats · 13.1%

739 Independent Party of Oregon · 5.7%

“Independent” and “non-affiliated” are not the same thing. The Independent Party of Oregon is a registered political party. The 739 Baker County voters registered with it are a separate group from the 4,451 registered with no party at all. Every party the state lists is shown, and the figures carry the date they were published.

The other 8 parties — 212 voters, 1.6%

Libertarian 63
Other 53
No Labels 45
Working Families Party of Oregon 29
Pacific Green 19
Progressive 3
Constitution 0
We The People 0

The full table, including these, is on the campaign finance page.

As of 11 September 2026 — Baker County, 12,979 registered voters in total. Source: Oregon Secretary of State, via data.oregon.gov, read from the open-data feed when this page was built. The Secretary of State also publishes a monthly PDF if you would rather check it by eye. Percentages are calculated from the counts above rather than quoted separately, and the date comes from the data itself — not from anything typed into this site.

Baker County has a population of about 16,700 people spread at roughly 5.5 people per square mile — ranching and agriculture, timber, manufacturing, government, and a growing recreation and tourism trade. In 2024 the county went ~73% for the Republican presidential ticket.

Oregon gets contribution limits on 1 January 2027 What that means for the committee’s record-keeping

Oregon has never had contribution limits. HB 4024 changes that. From that date a committee has to know who gave, what they have given so far this year, and whether the next gift puts them over a limit.

This website does not take contributions. Contributions go through the channel the committee’s own treasurer opens in the committee’s name, and that channel is where the record below has to be captured — at the moment of giving. Confirm the detail with the committee’s treasurer and the Oregon Secretary of State.
