Harley Davidson and McAlmond

In the summer of 2026, as America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, Oregon voters have a rare opportunity to send a true American original to the United States Senate.

Russ McAlmond, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, is not a career politician. He is a United States Marine Corps veteran—the only veteran running in this race—and a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) who has spent decades helping Oregon families build secure futures.

Uniquely positioned with support from both Republican and Democratic voters, McAlmond offers something the other candidates simply cannot: proven service to country, practical financial expertise, and an unshakable commitment to American-made values.

McAlmond’s story begins with service. As a Marine, he answered the call when his nation needed him most. That same sense of duty now drives his campaign for the Senate. While his opponents talk about national security from the comfort of the sidelines, McAlmond has lived it. He understands the sacrifices made by Oregon’s veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. In the Senate, he will fight relentlessly for better veterans’ healthcare, stronger military readiness, and policies that honor the men and women who wear the uniform.

But McAlmond’s patriotism doesn’t stop at the barracks. It rides right alongside him on the open roads of Oregon. For years he has been a proud Harley-Davidson rider, and in 2026 he upgraded to the new Liberty Edition trike—Harley-Davidson’s special commemorative model celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.

He traded in his previous Harley-Davidson trike to make room for this rolling tribute to freedom, built right here in the United States. That trike isn’t just transportation; it is a statement. Every mile McAlmond logs on it reminds him—and everyone who sees it—that the best motorcycles in the world are still made by American hands, for American riders, in support of American values.

Harley-Davidson has long stood as a beacon of American manufacturing excellence and a steadfast supporter of the U.S. military. Unlike companies that ship jobs overseas or rely on cheap imported parts from China, Harley-Davidson keeps its production lines humming in American factories, pays American wages, and invests in American communities. When you buy a Harley, you are not sending your dollars to foreign governments or propping up authoritarian supply chains.

You are putting food on the tables of welders, engineers, leatherworkers, and assembly-line heroes right here at home. That money stays in Oregon and across the United States—supporting local Harley-Davidson dealerships that sell the bikes, service them, and employ Oregonians who know these machines inside and out.

This is economic patriotism in action. McAlmond’s choice to ride American steel is more than personal preference; it is a daily reminder of the policies he will champion in the Senate.

He will fight to keep tariffs off American-made products because American manufacturing should never be penalized for succeeding on American soil. He will push back against trade deals that flood our markets with cheap foreign goods while our own factories struggle. And he will demand that federal purchasing priorities favor companies like Harley-Davidson that hire veterans, support military families, and embody the spirit of self-reliance that built this country.

As a Certified Financial Planner, McAlmond brings something else critical to the Senate: real-world expertise on the economy that affects every Oregon family. He has spent his career helping people plan for retirement, buy homes, and weather financial storms. He understands the crushing cost of living in Oregon—sky-high housing prices, energy bills, and taxes that drive families out of the state. Unlike the Washington insiders who lecture from afar, McAlmond has balanced real budgets for real people.

He knows how to cut wasteful spending, protect Social Security and Medicare for those who earned them, and grow the economy so that Oregon workers—not just coastal elites—can thrive.

Oregon deserves a senator who lives the values he preaches. Russ McAlmond lives them every day on his Liberty Edition Harley trike. He lives them in the way he raised his family, served his country, and built his business. He lives them by choosing American over imported, by supporting the men and women who wear the uniform, and by refusing to accept the decline of American manufacturing as inevitable.

The choice in this Senate race could not be clearer. The other candidates offer more of the same: more regulations, more foreign dependence, more empty promises. One of his opponents actually promotes China trade.

Russ McAlmond offers something different—a Marine’s discipline, a financial expert’s clarity, and a rider’s freedom by someone who buys American made products as much as possible. 

He offers a vision of an Oregon and an America that builds things again, buys American again, and stands tall again.

So this November, Oregon voters should do what patriots have always done: support the candidate who has already proven his commitment to this country.

Elect the only Marine veteran in the race.

Elect the CFP who understands your wallet.

Elect the Harley rider who proudly flies the flag of American excellence every time he hits the road.

Ride a Harley. Support American workers. Keep dollars in American communities. And send Russ McAlmond to the United States Senate.

Make America better—starting right here in Oregon.
