Betsy didn't forget to bring props to her "Law and Order" event last week, but she did forget to mention a few crucial bills that are a part of her decades long voting record that tell a different story than the one she's choosing to share.
Here are a few updates to some of Betsy's claims:
"Under ballot Measure 110, it's legal to have this many fentanyl laced pills that could kill an entire community and it's not a crime. You get a bigger fine for parking in a handicap spot than possessing this much fentanyl, and that is simply wrong."
"I'll file legislation to reinstate mandatory minimum sentences for violent criminals like murders, rapists, and child molesters of any age."
"[Tina] and Kate Brown want to stop arresting, prosecuting, and holding criminals accountable as part of their effort to make the world where there are no criminals because no one can get arrested, and no one stays in jail."
"Tina and Betsy have been voting together for 15 years; that's quite the history, filled with so many memories! We will be here, happy to help the longtime Democrat legislators remember those cherished years together," said RGA Spokeswoman Kaitlin Price. "From their votes to eliminate minimum bail requirements for violent criminals, to their agreement to pump taxpayer money into the failed Measure 110, Portlanders fleeing due to rising crime and Oregonians fed up with this persistent crisis won't be signing on to four more years of Democrat control under Tina Kotek nor Betsy Johnson that brought on this sad reality."
