“If you don’t have healthcare, you really don’t have a community.”Brian Campbell
Democratic candidate for Oregon House District 58 in 2026
The account in context
Brian Campbell said at the Enterprise candidate forum at Cloverleaf Hall on October 4, 2026, and in conversation afterward, that health care is what holds a small town together, and that a hospital allowed to decline becomes “a Band-Aid station.” He also said run-down houses should be cleared or brought back, and that he opposes the Greater Idaho movement. He lives in Imbler, in Union County. He approved this wording on October 12, 2026, and agreed to its appearing before the November 3 election.
