About Jaynee

Hi, my name is Jaynee Germond and I am running for US Congress, OR District 4 because I cannot continue to sit by idly, watching our economy and our rights spiraling downward. Our representatives in Congress are not helping; rather they are the ones causing the deterioration of the economy and the destruction of our constitutionally protected rights.

We the People, are struggling to make ends meet with the money that our government allows us to keep, while our paid officials- our hired employees- are squandering our hard-earned money.

Our country has been consumed by party politics, and we need to get beyond the 2-party system, which has blurred so much that it is now unrecognizable, and look at being Americans. The 2-party system has gotten us where we are today, with the good of the party taking a back seat only to what will get me elected next time.

I want to bring back a Congress that wants what is best for America first and foremost. Term limits would help that to become a reality, but term limits would require a Constitutional Convention. If a Constitutional convention is called, Congress is not limited in what they could change in our Constitution and the results could be devastating. "We the People" need to understand that we already have term limits and they are called elections. When our officials come up for re-election and they are long-term, career politicians we need to vote them out. If we limit our reps to 6-12 years maximum we would be much more productive in DC. There wouldnt be the impetus to worry about your own election as much.

I belong to the Republican Party. Although, some may consider me Conservative, I am actually a Constitutionalist. This means that even though I have personal beliefs about some issues, the Constitution is specific about how and by whom those issues should be handled.

When I take the oath of office , I will swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.

An oath is not to be taken lightly and I stand by that. Though a Christian, I am not running as a Christian, but as an American. A Christians guidebook is the Bible; an Americans guidebook is the Constitution.

I was:

- a single parent for 10 years
- in healthcare for 25 years
- a teacher for 3 years (1 in a government schools, 2 in private school) plus homeschooled our youngest daughter for 11 years was widowed remarried to a disabled Viet Nam vet owned my own business (which was closed d/t economic downturn) In other words....I am you.
