Oregon LiveA top candidate in the Republican primary for Oregon governor has confirmed he was part of an invite-only Portland swingers group for swapping sexual partners.
Sandy Mayor Stan Pulliam said in a statement to The Oregonian/OregonLive that he and his wife, MacKensey, briefly explored relationships with other couples beginning in 2016 before deciding to focus solely on each other, our marriage and our family.
Ever since, day in and day out, weve worked as a team to strengthen our family and to create a better community and state for our girls and the hundreds of thousands of kids just like them, so they can safely grow up, live, work and stay right here in Oregon, Pulliam said.
The disclosure could prove to be a headwind for Pulliam, 40, whose campaign has contrasted the small-town virtues of rural Clackamas County with the supposed squalor of Portland.

Not that there's anything wrong with that...

you want to run for governor in the party of family values.

"Honey, I wasn't cheating on you, I was just exploring a relationship with another person!"

Which then morphed into "Focus on the family". Gotta love these family values charlatans!

Our entire states reputation is officially back to the bad old days of its Bob Packwood/Tonya Harding phase.
