IF YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW OREGONS POLITICAL LANDSCAPE, YOU MIGHT BE WRONGFrom our nations forebears such as Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, to the Bible, Americans have long heard some version of the old adage that the government we elect is the government we deserve. Raised on a cattle ranch in eastern Oregon, and a staunch conservative at heart, Kerry McQuisten had always had the rebellious thought, “Well, I sure dont deserve what we have now!”By 2021, Oregon had suffered nearly four decades of Democrat rule, finally with no separation of powers—a fact made all the more evident by then-Governor Kate Browns catastrophic failures in response to COVID. Kerry ran for local office, and was elected Mayor of Baker City, a city of 10,000 souls nestled in the rugged and scenic northeast part of the state. Her unique stand as Mayor launched her, her fellow councilors, and Baker City into the national Fox News spotlight.After a groundswell of requests from around the state, she ran as a true grassroots candidate on the Republican ticket for Governor of Oregon in the 2022 Primary Election. A small-business owner and single mom, her campaign through all 36 Oregon counties brought her into the orbit of national figures like NRAs Vice President Willes Lee; President Trumps election integrity go-to expert Dr. Kelli Ward; David Bossie; Eric Trump—and more!Now, for the first time since the 2022 Primary, she comes forward with the hard truths of why Oregons Republicans lost their best chance in decades to win back the Governors seat. From her vantage point behind the political curtain, she witnessed how to prevent a loss like that from happening again. But will people listen?This book is a ride through Oregons swamp, dirty lobbyists, corrupt media, push polls, pseudo patriots who really aid the left, a voting infrastructure built for fraud, voter apathy—and yet also some of the best, salt-of-the-Earth fighters a person will ever be lucky enough to meet. Most of all, THE GOVERNMENT WE DESERVE is a love letter to Oregon voters—and a road map for change.REVIEWS:“While election corruption and voter manipulation may look somewhat different between Arizona and Oregon, once youve run for statewide office, its impossible to unsee the similar sabotage that America First, grassroots candidates face from the swamp everywhere. THE GOVERNMENT WE DESERVE is a must-read. Its a look into the world of politics that will shock the average voter.” —Kari Lake, 2022 AZ Republican gubernatorial nominee... I hope conservatives everywhere pick up a copy of this book, find their own God-given strengths, and are inspired to fight for our freedoms.” —Mike Lindell, CEO of My Pillow“In her explosive new book, Kerry doesnt just give the reader a glimpse behind the curtain.

The issues within our system of electing ‘leaders in our country are tarnished and widespread ... touching every state in our nation... [Kerry will never sit down, shut up, or be shamed for fighting for what makes America great.” —Dr. Kelli Ward, former AZ state senator and Chairwoman of the AZ Republican Party
