Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.” — Matthew 18:21-22 As the light beamed on in my jail cell, letting […]

Pride, Spirit, and Volunteerism are 3 qualities that define RJ.
Even when left with nothing, he had something to give… His time. RJ has used his time to build homes for Veterans, deliver toys to underpriviledged children, and during this pandemic he’s used his time to deliver lunches to families and resources to businesses. He’s someone who can represent our community, inside and outside of the legislature.
My name is Ramiro Navarro Jr. but most call me “R.J.” for short. I’m the proud son of a migrant Farm Worker and a Tejana School Teacher. I’m an Oregonian born and raised and have lived in Keizer all my life. I was a 63B, Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic, in the Army for 3 years. Did one combat deployment to Iraq in 2009 and experienced the traumas of war for many years after. After starting on my recovery journey from substance abuse and addiction, I decided to return to school for Business Management. I eventually worked at Chemeketa Community College as the Veterans Representative on the Student Council and used that experience to gain employment at a local nonprofit as the Veterans Program Coordinator. There, I designed and managed a program which provided mental health services to Veterans who struggled to return home as I did. Now, I've put my education and experience to the test by starting my own automotive business specializing in restoring older vehicles with modern upgrades. I continue to serve my community as a volunteer, be it wrapping presents for low-income families or advocating for public transportation as Director of Subdistrict 2 (Keizer) on the Cherriots board. When I was 18, I took an oath to serve the people of the United States and my oath is one that never expires.
"Nobody learns except by making mistakes. The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make—for the more new things he will try. I would never promote a man into a top-level job who has not made mistakes, and big ones at that. Otherwise, he is sure to be mediocre. Worse still, not having made mistakes he will not have learned how to spot them early and how to correct them."
- Peter Drucker
