Darin and his wife Kail live on the McKenzie River. They have built numerous successful businesses, raised three great kids and supported their community. Darin coached high school and college basketball, served on the local school board and the local tourism board. He’s given his life to raising his family, building his businesses and supporting his local community.

Concerned the next generation of his family and his fellow Oregonians will not enjoy the same opportunities he and his wife have had is the motivating factor for Darin to run for the United State Senate. The incumbent senior senator who has been in Washington for 40 years is pushing radical out of touch extreme policies that will further ruin Oregon’s natural resources, deny Oregonians their God given rights and push our citizens to greater and greater dependence on government.

Campaign website

Harbick's campaign website stated the following:

Managing our Federal Forests, Sustainable Harvest

Oregon is blessed with an amazing renewable resource in the form of the world’s most productive forestlands. However, what we have seen is continued, and systemic mismanagement of this incredible resource which has led to catastrophic fires, loss of jobs in rural Oregon, and millions of tons of carbon released into our atmosphere. As Oregon’s next US Senator I will work to provide necessary resources to the US Forest Service to thin the forest, maintain forest roads, extinguish fires fast and provide good paying family wage jobs in the forest.

Solving the immigration crises on the US Southern border

We must secure the southern border. That is job #1. If the current administration doesn’t do it, as a member of a new Republican majority in the US Senate beginning in 2023, I will work with my colleagues to get it done. Reforming our immigration system requiring lawful entry is key to the long term health and well being of our economy. With the demographic changes occurring in our country, ensuring a legal and lawful workforce to replace the current generation of retiring Americans is crucial.

Pandemic mandates and constitutional overreach

Oregonians have accommodated the rules and mandates coming out of Salem and Washington, DC to slow and ultimately stop the march of the Covid19 pandemic. However, Oregonians have definitely reached their limit when the dictates encroach on personal medical choices and the ability of Oregonians to work and make a living. Vaccine mandates go too far and must be opposed. As your next US Senator, I will use every tool at my disposal to oppose unconstitutional mandates that violate your personal and family choices regarding vaccines.

Continued Federal Spending endangers America’s future

Emergency spending during the early days of the pandemic may have been necessary in light of the government-created recession and job losses. However, the economy has largely recovered, as demonstrated by low unemployment numbers. I know this personally with jobs going unfilled in my own businesses. We must stop the runaway spending at the federal level.

Support for a Balanced Budget Amendment

Continued deficit spending has created serious economic consequences for our children and grandchildren, which is why I support passing a Balanced Budget Amendment with a gradual path toward federal budget stability and fiscal sanity.

Support for the 2nd Amendment

We do not need additional state or federal laws or regulations for firearms.[3]
