“Mike Erickson, the GOP nominee in Oregon’s new 6th Congressional District, is alleged to have stopped at an ATM for $300 and then dropped his ex-girlfriend off at a clinic. Republicans in Oregon’s newly drawn 6th Congressional District last week chose as their nominee for the House businessman Mike Erickson, an anti-abortion candidate who has been accused of paying for an ex-girlfriend’s abortion. The AP called the Republican primary race for Erickson on Friday after enough votes were counted in the state’s all-mail election to determine that he had defeated state Rep. Ron Noble and a handful of other candidates for the nomination” – American Independent.
