Walker Response to False Campaign Ad
- Walker Campaign Calls On Torrey To Retract False Ad
"Supporters of Vicki Walker today called on Republican Senate candidate Jim Torrey to take down his untruthful campaign ads ..... We are all deeply disappointed in Mr. Torrey’s adoption of the Bush-Rove campaign tactics. " - The Facts Surrounding Jim Torrey’s Ads Featuring Janyce Iturra
"On October 4, 2006, Jim Torrey, Republican candidate for Senate District 7, sent a letter from Janyce Iturra to residents of the district. The letter claimed that Senator Walker was indifferent to Ms. Iturra’s requests for assistance on legislation in which she was interested. Television and radio ads followed, repeating a similar message. The facts do not support the claims in the letter." - Statement from Sen. Walker Regarding Janyce Iturra Matter
"If the bill Ms. Iturra was supporting was simply a matter of closing a loophole that would have protected our children, there is no one in the Senate who would have supported it as strongly as me. Unfortunately, the bill in question was far more reaching in scope (which is why it was opposed by groups across the political spectrum) and went against one of my core convictions." - Senator Walker's Constituent File Screenshot #1

" In one brief sequence, Torrey says he believes that the war in Iraq has made us safer from terrorism. The video of Torrey runs beside a still image of President George W. Bush. Reminding voters that Torrey is a Republican is fair game, McGhee said, especially during an election season when some candidates are trying to distance themselves from a series of national GOP scandals." - Eugene Weekly Article
"Walker supporters produced evidence that showed Walker had not ignored Iturra but had spoken about her case in committee and on the Senate floor, had responded with letters, and had never received any emails from Iturra." - Oregon Daily Emerald Article
"It's important that we stand up and fight back, and that is what we are doing," Edmunson said. "Jim Torrey never had my vote, but he had my respect. Now he's lost my respect, and that is far more important." - The Register-Guard Commentary on Negative Campaigning
"Candidates must offer voters compelling reasons to vote for them, but one important component of that argument includes reasons why it would be a mistake to vote for their opponents. The problems arise when unscrupulous candidates substitute lies, distortions and irrelevant personal attacks for legitimate criticisms of an opponent's record."
