Running for HD 18, Property Rights & A Changing Workforce Newsmakers At Noon 3/26/26

Posted on March 26, 2026

Guest: Ben Fisher, candidate for Oregon House District 18, joined us for a conversation about his background, priorities, and why he’s running to represent the district.

Ben shared his family and work history, giving listeners a sense of who he is and what has shaped his decision to step into public service.

We discussed why he’s running for HD 18, along with his priorities for both the district and the state—including the issues he believes matter most to voters right now.

Ben also made his case for why he’s the best person to represent the people of HD 18, outlining his approach and vision moving forward.

We also touched on a viral story out of Kentucky, where a family reportedly turned down a $26 million offer to convert part of their farm into a data center—raising broader questions about property rights, long-term security, and the value of land versus short-term gain.

And in a rapidly changing job market, discussion turned to hiring practices, with reports that some major companies—including Unilever—have moved away from traditional resume screening, signaling a shift in how employers evaluate candidates.

A thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation on leadership, priorities, and the bigger forces shaping our economy and communities.
