Suzanne Gallagher has been a life long Republican beginning when she met Governor Ronald Reagan in the late 1970’s. Her commitment to conservative principles is evidenced in the many political groups she has formed in addition to the stands taken in her community for over 30 years. She ran for the House and Senate in Oregon in a Democrat dominated state. Now her goal is to change that dynamic so that future citizens can one again be free.
