Special Guest Speaker
Alek Skarlatos
Alek Skarlatos has a long history of fighting for the conservative movement and
southern Oregon, including historic runs for Congress in Oregon’s 4th
Congressional District, as an advocate for Oregon’s timber industry, and as a
National Development Director for the conservative nonprofit, the Freedom
Foundation, which advocates for workers’ right to work.
Prior to entering the public policy arena, Alek was an Oregon National
Guardsman. He attended both Air Assault School and Sniper School, achieving the
rank of Specialist. He completed a nine-month deployment in Afghanistan with the
US Army National Guard’s 186th Infantry Regiment, 41st Infantry Brigade Combat
Team in 2015.
Alek, along with four others, stopped an armed terrorist on a Paris-bound train
traveling from Amsterdam to Paris in August 2015. His heroism earned him
several awards and medals around the world, including the United States’ Soldier’s
Medal. In addition, he received the Chevalier of the Legion of Honour and the
Medal of the City of Arras, France, and starred in the 2018 Clint Eastwood film
“15:17 to Paris” about the terrorist attack Alek helped to stop.
Oregon House District 4 is made up of communities in Southern Douglas,
Josephine, and Jackson Counties.
